Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve

nice scotch/bourbon mash-up; vanilla and caramel, slight black licorice at the end

Aggressive but great flavors. Good experience for an intermediate!

vanilla, as you would expect; green apple and sapling oak

Nose: Subtle hints of vanilla. Sweetness of sugar and fruit. Oaky as expected from a bourbon cask. Palate: Sweet and smoky. Vanilla and caramel with some orange notes. Oaky taste is pleasant. Finish: Longer than expected. Sugary sweetness lingers with some vanilla trailing behind. Overall Thoughts: Deliciousness as expected from a Glenfiddich, admittedly a personal favorite. Sweetness goes a long way for me and this has a perfect blend of hearty and delicate flavor. I was gifted this bottle a few years ago by a Scottish friend and I’ll always be happy they introduced me to Glenfiddich.
