Single Malt
Scotland
Rum Finish
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.
Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke on the wind. Rich sweet toffee with zesty fresh fruit notes and spiciness.
Like a Highland peat campfire, with oak notes and toffee. Sharp green fruit, sweet baked apple and soft smoke.
Lingering smokiness and sweetness.
Not nice at all, very disappointing
This wasn't my favourite, but I'm not going to lambast it because I think that some people may like it. Whilst this is definitely drinkable and is a decent whisky, I wouldn't say it's worth the extra money vs a standard bottle of Glenfiddich. Yes there are some extra flavours, but nothing to blow you away.
The best i have tried in a while.... Stunning!
This is excellent. There's a lot going on, proper smokiness with a really nice sweet taste. I would pay much more than the £40 quid you can buy it for. I'm just concerned about when they stop making this
A tale of 2 drams. On first hitting the palate I was struck by toffee apple sweetness, brown sugar etc. Shortly followed by a delicate smokiness. One of my favorite pours of 2020
