Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve

A very good dram ruined by a bad finish Nose: vanilla, buttercream, wildflowers Palate: creamy butterscotch with a slight spicy kick with hints of vanilla, caramel and old oak Finish: overpowering floral, like a perfume, becoming soapy with a sharp spicy bite. The nose and taste of this whiskey are really, really nice. Not overly complex but very enjoyable. That finish though is pretty unpleasant. It reminds me of when I was a kid and said a dirty word and my mom put a bar of soap in my mouth. It is all flowery, perfumey soap. None of the lovely notes from the nose or the taste show up in the finish. I would not buy this whisky again, which is disappointing because I really wanted to like it.

Definitely Glenfiddich on the nose and in the mouth but with no Sherry it’s too one dimensional and only has the virgin oak to drive it

This is a very solid offering. Its not exactly the type of spirit that will excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me. Itsa not quite complex enough for that. But it is balanced with a warm mouthfeel and enough bourbon barrel on the front and plenty of that dry musty grandpa scotch flavor lingering on the back end. Its sort of like a mullet that is equally long on both front and back but nothing on the sides. Like maybe the sides are shaved. I dont know what Im talking about anymore but thats a funny visual. Its like those old detective hats with two visors or brims, one on either side, except instead of a visor theres a flap of mullet hair. You see it dont you? Ahaha that makes me very content, happy even. Just like this whiskey. <-------Nailed the dismount yusssssss

Vanilla, Carmel, slight fruity fig with smoky ending.
