This single malt from Glenfiddich was aged for 14 years before a finish in new American and Spanish oak casks. They say the American oak adds spice, vanilla, and fruit, and the Spanish oak brings elegant fruit, spice, and complexity.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Very much a nice bourbon Cask whisky. Nice well composed mix of fruit, oak and spice but I'd still take Auchentoshan 12 over this in terms of price. Definitely worth a try if you want something that's a step up from the 12 Year Old.
Very well made, packed full of oak flavor. Tried this as a dram first of all, then got the bottle, i did not regret it.
Just a powerful taste of alcohol.
Ridiculously smooth and powerful taste with a long, sweet aftertaste. Just barely a touch of smoke should make this one appeal to a wide variety of people, not the least newcomers.
Just returned from Scotland where we visited the Glenfiddich distillery - had the chance to try the 14 year old Rich Oak (among others) - perhaps it was the whole atmosphere of being right where it was produced but both my wife and I enjoyed it to the point we picked up a bottle - We still like the 15 year Solera Vat better but enjoyed the Rich Oak - I personally did not find the oak overpowering as I do in some "Oak only" finished Single Malts - the reviews I've read vary greatly which just again proves - we all have different tastes but can agree that there is nothing better than a nice dram of your favourite Scotch whatever that dram is
