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.
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.

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