Glenfiddich, Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Years Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve, NV bdxcount0925 900 feet above the fogSpeyside's biggest name goes all in on American oak. This one spends its fourteen years in ex bourbon barrels and then takes a finishing turn in new charred American oak a move that pushes it hard toward vanilla, toffee and baking spice. Underneath all that sweetness it's still recognizably Glenfiddich: orchard fruit, honey, a clean malty core, no smoke. The result is a single malt with a bourbon drinker's handshake, which is exactly who it was built
