Bottled at 40% ABV – aged in a combination of Oloroso Sherry & Ex-Bourbon casks. Featured on Day 22 of KWM's 2017 Whisky Advent Calendar.
Lending its name to the largest selling single malt in the world, Glenfiddich is said to have paved the way after WWII by bucking the trend and not supplying to blenders owned by larger conglomerates. Vision and persistence paid off, and as luck would have it, its style is very easily drinkable and appeals to a wide range. Traditionally light, smooth, with a hint of fruitiness.
750 mlAndrew’s Tasting Note
Nose: creamy and tropical, treacle sauce and maple butter; melons, mango and papaya; chocolate shavings and cinnamon dusted on top of a foamy cappuccino.
Palate: still creamy, tropical and fruity with maple syrup and more subtle treacle notes; more mango, papaya and flambéed banana; more dark chocolate shavings and cinnamon, soft leather and some salted caramel. Finish: long, coating and fruity.
Comment: it is nice to revisit the old standbys and remind yourself how pleasant they can be.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: A remarkably rich aroma with ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and robust oak.
Taste: Richly delivers luxurious dried fruit, candy peel and dates. Overlaid with elegant oak notes.
Finish: Warming, rewarding and distinguished.

The 4th release in the Glenfiddich Experimental Series is a peated single malt finished in sweet rum casks. Bottled at 43%.
Producer's Description
"Glenfiddich Fire & Cane features a fusion of two bold flavours coming together to form the unexpected combination of smoky Glenfiddich whisky finished in sweet rum casks.
"Fire & Cane is inspired by the early innovation of Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman, who in 2003, first ran peated spirit through the Glenfiddich stills, birthing the concept of what would become the innovative Experimental Series. As the fourth expression of the Experimental Series, Fire & Cane fuses the brand’s smoky whisky with malts that had been maturing side-by-side in bourbon casks, showcasing Glenfiddich’s sweet and fruity signature style. Taking it a step further, all of the whiskies were finished in Latin rum casks to produce a surprising overlay of added caramel toffee sweetness."
