Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve

Nose is vanilla, pallet spice and toffee 2020 finishes with much lighter oak flavor then 2017 - 2019 offerings.

My first excursion with this bottle. I'm not expert in the finer aspects of nose-palate-finish, but this one has something going well in each phase. Nicely warming on a fall night by the fire.

Very good and sweet. Smooth and good finish

Revisiting this one because it’s in their redesigned bottle. I remember a lot more apple and pear in the old bottling. This new one has more vanilla and caramel. But it’s probably the same juice and my imagination and palate is what changed. However, Definitely a favorite of mine and it’s sooo delicious. The only Glenfiddich I buy.

I bought this bottle on a trip to Chicago.  While visiting the US, I figured that a bottle of Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon Barrel Reserve American New Oak would make an appropriate souvenir. It came in a patriotic blue canister that I couldn't resist. The nose is fruity and makes me feel festive with its pear and baking spice combination. The palate is oak forward with vanilla-honey highlights amidst a sea of spice. The finish is dry and leaves a lingering tingle on my lips. This scotch reminds me of a bourbon and is lovely as the weather gets more chilly outside. I'm now inspired to mull some cider or bake a crumble! That said, I'd prefer this on ice or with a touch of water to balance the dryness. 7.75/10

Want to start getting into Scotch’s and I picked a great one to start with. Definitely reminds me of bourbon but at the same time totally different. Vanilla on the nose and pallet and apple on the pallet as well that I find is always prominent when I taste scotch. Overall really tasty and worth the risk on my first bottle.
