Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber gold with copper highlights; rich, full legs suggesting viscosity
Nose
Unique and exotic — warm Caribbean spice, toffee, banana, lime zest, and rich vanilla. Rum cask finish adds brown sugar, fig, and candied ginger. Underlying oak and floral notes
Palate
Luxuriously smooth. Ripe banana, toffee, lime zest, dark brown sugar, and warm spice from rum cask. Vanilla fudge, dried fig, candied ginger, and gentle oakiness. Complex tropical warmth layered over classic Glenfiddich fruit character. Rich, velvety body
Finish
Long, exceptionally smooth finish. Rum cask influence lingers with brown sugar sweetness, gentle spice, vanilla, and tropical warmth. A hint of dry oak and leather emerges as it fades
