Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This is the fourth release in Glenfiddich’s experimental series, and comes from a batch of heavily peated malt distilled at Glenfiddich in late 2003. That whisky was blended with traditional unpeated Glenfiddich malt and finished in Latin American Rum casks that are different than the Caribbean Rum casks used for Glenfiddich’s 21-year-old Gran Reserva edition.
The nose has a subtle peatiness and notes of toffee, nougat, molasses, and muted spices. The taste is smoky and woody with campfire smoke, honey, molasses, and allspice. The finish has a lingering touch of campfire smoke and touches of molasses and brown sugar along with hints of allspice, vanilla, and nutmeg that add complexity. (July, 2018)
