Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish
Single Malt
Glenfiddich // Speyside, Scotland
What's in a name? When this rum-finished expression was first released in 2002, it was called Havana Reserve. This posed a problem with the United States as they have an embargo on Cuban products, even second hand.
The name was eventually changed to Gran Reserva. An updated packaging design in 2016 included (yet again) another name change to Reserva Rum Cask Finish.

Aged for 21 years in used American barrels, this spends its final four months in hand selected rum barrels from the Caribbean.

Tasting Notes
"As you might imagine with a whisky finished in rum, there are lots of sugary aromas and flavors--molasses, toffee, and brown sugar to name a few. As you dig deeper, you also discover espresso, leather, and banana. Despite all the sweets, the finish is dry, but lengthy. "
