Glenfiddich 14 year old Bourbon Barrel Reserve, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
After 14 years in bourbon wood, this was finished in heavily-charred new American oak barrels, sourced from Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky. Malt, vanilla, and fudge on the nose, with ripe apples and lively oak. Toffee, caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon on the palate, while the finish is nutty, with notes of char. The closest Glenfiddich gets to producing a bourbon! Value pick
