Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish

Another taste with don. This was sweetness and sherry and a little burnt crumb cake deliciousness.

Batch #45 Nose - Tropical fruits, grilled pineapple, ripe cut apples, brown sugar syrup, fresh ginger Taste - Fairly thin, tropical sweet, pineapple juice, apple juice, coconut water, fresh pressed sugarcane juice, caramelized sugar, light fruity bitter on tail end Finish - Lingering sweet, tropical fruit juice, char grilled pineapple, light fruity bitterness at end returns Score - 84/100 Final Thoughts - This was an interesting one as this nosed and drank above its proof. This tasted like it was more 43-46% than the 40% it was bottled at. It's been a while since I've had the standard 18 offering, but this feels like that, but with the sweetness dialed up a bit with a bit more cooked/caramelized tropical fruit vibe. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but the flavor is nice. This feels like something I wouldn't mind sipping on when I'm in a shaded cabana by the beach or something. I have a feeling this would be great mixed with some coconut water & made into a highball that way. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Probably Not NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

Rich, sweet, oily

Nose: fruity, bannana pear. Some vanilla and light oak. Taste: one of the smoothest I have tried. More spices but the fruity is still there, the second dram had more punch. A wee of smoke and oak the end? Very enjoyable and very good delicate after taste.
