Description
Nose: Intense and vanilla sweet, floral, hints of banana, figs, rich toffee, new leather and oak. Taste: Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant and drying, peppery, a touch of smoke, oak, lime, ginger and spices. Finish: Very long, warming, dry and spicy. Uniquely finished for up to four months in barrels that once contained rum from the Caribbean to create a luxuriously rich and indulgent single malt After maturing our whisky for 21 years, our Malt Master adds even warmer and richer flavours by uniquely finishing this single malt in first fill bourbon barrels that once contained rum from the Caribbean. The rum-soaked cask infuses the aged whisky with a spicy warmth and indulgent vanilla and toffee sweetness, the character of the Caribbean shining through. This gives our whisky a sumptuous sweet intensity that is both rich and creamy yet still retains the unmistakable character of Glenfiddich. Gold International Wine & Spirit Competition 2011
A 21 year old bottling that is deliciously finished in casks used previously to age Caribbean Rum.
A nose of barley sugar, malt, orange peels, chocolate and banana abound.
With a delicious full palate of fruitcake, spices, buttery vanilla and oak.

IWSC Awards Tasting Note: Rich nose with dark berry fruits and rich malt. Some brown sugar and toffee are very prominent. Smooth entry and silky flow with keen texture, well rounded mouth with layers of barley, malt, vanilla and cinnamon. Good oak support and some more brown sugar and toffee. Some shortbread and fudge help to give a sweetness and richness to the whole. Yet ends with a maturity of character and very dry.
