Glenfiddich Fire & Cane Bottling Note

Let the great experiment... Continue! Glenfiddich has added a new expression to its Experimental Series, unveiling Fire & Cane in mid-2018. Malt master Brian Kinsman has given some of the distillery's peated single malt a three-month finishing period in rum casks - but not just any old rum casks. He's selected rum casks from a variety of South American countries to finish this whisky, which ought to play nicely with the burly peat notes at its core.

Tasting Note by The Producer

Nose: Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke on the wind. Rich sweet toffee with zesty fresh fruit notes and spiciness.

Palate: Like a Highland peat campfire, with oak notes and toffee. Sharp green fruit, sweet baked apple and soft smoke.

Finish: Lingering smokiness and sweetness.

Glenfiddich Experimental Series - Fire & Cane Reviews

Will not buy

Disappointing, harsh and tasted more like a blended whisky. Received as a gift and dare I say will most likely use in a whisky Mac!!!

Not one for sipping whisky lovers!

I found it true to its name, first few sips fiery! Then as the throat acclimatised to it it mellowed off, but still with that hint of heat! Would I buy another probably not, find the IPA one a bit more mellow!

End of day

A nice whisky certainly one to have as a nice end of day dram

Best Glenfiddich

Best Glenfiddich I've had in a long time. Better than the Solera Reserve in my opinion. I'm usually unimpressed by Glenfiddich but this is good for the money

Be Stunned.

Tasted it today Nov 8th after I came home from work ( wife bought it, and it was in a cold car all day)' I directly noticed a faint "dark" Rum scent and I had a good sip rolled it around in my mouth and drew breath in to "air" it. I did notice a medium peatyness which wasn't unpleasnt at all. it clings nicely to the glass and it holds its flavours for a decent amount of time.. I let the rest adjust to room temperature and low and behold!! the Rum characteristica was even stronger taste wise but the scent was clearly more peated.Then I tried it with DARK choclate and the bitterness of the choclate vis a vis the rum flavour was a match in heaven.( haven't tried it with cheese yet but that will come and I will leave a review of that experience too.So it was/is a VERY nice surprise. I've had a lot of those port and sherry casked ones in the past,but they are becoming a tad of a "Bakers dozen" Same goes for Burbon casked ones. But this is a thing I think should be a "base" in the Glenfiddich repetoire.

Sit back and enjoy

Found this one interesting when tasting at the Whisky Stramash, with sensation of a peaty and sweetness coming through, as I am not a lover of the twelve year old Glenfiddich

Sweet & Smokey perfection

I now love glenfiddich. This dram is far more complex and rewarding than any other speymalt I've experienced.

1st May 2019

Harsh and flavourless.

Personally I found this shallow in flavour and very harsh. It’s a sad day when I have a whisky in my cuboard that I’m loath to drink. Think this ones going to sit around for a while.

Very very Quaffable

My self and a colleague at work are whisky connoisseurs' and exchange samples he brought me this one this week and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience with me taking my time drinking it that my wife thought I didn't like it but it was brilliant

Great for Making a High End Rusty Nail

Had it in a Rusty Nail as a substitute for my usual Johnny Walker Black. Great!

Goddamn this is good.

A lovely drink, got a bottle of this for Christmas; the peat is nice without being a predominant flavour, and there's a lot of rich, sugary, spicy goodness in there. Really nice finish. I'd heartily recommend this, it's a great dram. It's nothing like any of Glenfiddich's traditional offerings, either.

8th January 2019

Outstanding. Will buy again.

A very diverse taste! This is not a classic speyside malt. I have NEVER tasted a Glenfiddich like this.

Nose: Toasted oak, candied fruits and raw sugar

Palate: Nice bright grassy peat up front balanced beautifully with green apples, honeysuckle and sweet vanilla oak

Finish: Smooth long campfire embers with pepper and sweet cinnamon spice

Ok but nothing special

I'm not a glenfiddich fan but am collecting this series.. Good. On the palette but I wouldn't say very smokey or peaty..

Bit disappointed it doesn't come in a nice glenfiddich box.. Just the bottle as a collector I'd like it to have had its own box like the rest of the series so far

Will not buy it again

Mediocre if compared with Balvenie 14 Caribbean cask

30th November 2018

Pretty Good

This is an interesting whisky from Glenfiddich not like anything else I've had from them. Unusually smooth for a Glenfiddich with a fair amount of peat smoke , a hint of wood smoke, some caramel and toffee on the finish and a hint of burnt sugar which is from the rum cask I am guessing. It's good and not overly expensive but I don't think I would buy it again it's just not the character I look for from this distillery think I'll stick with the 15 and 18 year olds but a fun experiment nonetheless.

For $50, an incredible dram!

Like making love to Jennifer Lopez by a peat fire on Islay, with Capercaille and Dougie MacLean playing together in the gloaming...
