A fabulous 21 Year Old bottling from Glenfiddich, and as its name suggests this particular single malt was finished in casks used previously to age Caribbean rum for four months! Some cask influence in the form of tropical fruit and spicy ginger to be found in here.
Barley sugar, malt and dark brown sugar, with orange peels, marmalade, manuka honey, chocolate and foam bananas.
Full, fruitcake, spices, buttery vanilla, malty, with oak and candied ginger.
Long, with notes of mochaccino and marmalade.

Top of my list. This version taste as good but love to try the airport version with 43.2% in comparison.
If you look at the marketing carefully, the previous 21 was finished in Gran Reserva rum casks. This new bottling and packaging is now only Reserva rum casks. It may suggests a shortage of older or better quality casks, or a change in the recipe of Glenfiddich's rum combination due to shortage in some component rums.
Since I first fell in love with the 21, it seems to have changed. I believe they aren't giving it as much time in the rum casks as they did the first batches, and it shows.
I would recommend! Amazing flavor!
I have tried more than 150 different single malts.. And must say im quite a fan of the glenfidich... But this one was the biggest disapointment off all teh whiskies of my life..considering the age and the price. Not balanced at all, not a decent finish and way below the old glenfidich 21 gran reserva. Instead of replacing the 21 years old they ruined theyr reputation. Should be taken out of the market asap or will get the brand seriously damaged.
