Nose: Intense & vanilla sweet, floral, hints of banana, figs, rich toffee, new leather & oak. Taste: Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant & drying, peppery, a touch of smoke, oak, lime, ginger & spices. Finish: Very long, warming, dry & spicy. Uniquely finished for up to four months in barrels that once contained rum from the Caribbean to create a luxuriously rich & indulgent single malt After maturing our whisky for 21 years, our Malt Master adds even warmer & 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 & indulgent vanilla & toffee sweetness, the character of the Caribbean shining through. This gives our whisky a sumptuous sweet intensity that is both rich & creamy yet still retains the unmistakable character of Glenfiddich. Gold International Wine & Spirit Competition 2011
