Glenfiddich Fire & Cane Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Manufacturer's Notes: Smoky Glenfiddich finished in sweet rum casks.

The Whisky That Will Divide You
Some claim this whisky #04 in the Experimental Series, is mostly smoky, a very unusual style for Glenfiddich. Others swear it is mainly sweet, thanks to its rum cask finish. With such different reactions, we created two sets of tasting notes. What do you get?

Cane

Do you get toffee sweetness?

Nose: Lots of rich, sweet toffee with some zesty fresh fruit notes and a lively spiciness.
Taste: A ci=ore of classic green fruit character, with the deep sweetness of baked apple and toasted marshmallow. Overlaid with soft smoke and wood spice.
Finish: Long-lasting sweetness.

Is this whiskey sweet? After making aged malts showcasing our sweet and fruity signature style with peated whiskies, Brian went one experimental step further. He finished all these whiskies in sweet rum casks for up to six months to overlay it with complex toffee sweetness.

Fire

Do you get campfire smokiness?

Nose: Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke carried on the wind.
Taste: An explosion of smoke, like a campfire built with Highland peat (but no medicinal Island notes). Overlaid with oak notes and deep toffee.
Finish: Lingering smokiness.

Is this whisky smoky? Brian Kinsman was our apprentice Mall Master when we first ran peated spirit through our Glenfiddich sills. Today, now master of his craft, Brian has vatted this aged smoky whiskey with malts that have been maturing side by side in bourbon casks.
