Glenfiddich Rich Oak

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 91 Points

This expression was finished in new American and Spanish oak casks after 13 years in second-fill bourbon barrels. The nose is fruity and aromatic with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, peaches, and figs. The taste is smooth with a soft spiciness and notes of orange peel, peaches, and touches of dark chocolate and caramel. The finish has notes of toasted oak, hot fudge sundae, and a hint of orange marmalade.
