Glenfiddich Fire and Cane / Experimental Series #04 Speyside Whisky

70cl / 43% / Distillery Bottling – Think you know peaty whisky? Think again. The fourth in Glenfiddich’s much-admired Experimental Series is a marriage of their rarely-seen peated whisky with unpeated bourbon-aged spirit, all of which is finished in Latin rum casks.

The fourth in the now famous Experimental Series, Glenfiddich’s Fire and Cane fuses the brand’s smoky whisky with malts that had been maturing side-by-side in bourbon casks and then finished in Latin rum casks producing a surprising mix of Glenfiddich’s sweet and fruity signature style with an overlay of caramel toffee sweetness. The nose has soft peat notes and a touch of toffee. Palate is smoky, baked apples and toffee and finish is lingering smokiness and sweetness.
