Glenfiddich Fire & Cane

Great campfire ending, not as peaty as I expected. Great even profile.

Bearable smokiness, refined sweetness. Smooth all around.

43% abv Chill-filtered Color added Nose; Potent peat smoke, but closer to a Highland Park heather-type peat, not Laphroaig; classic Glenfiddich green apple; some other dark sugary sweetnesses. Palate: Creamy, toffee and marshmallow sweetness from the rum finish; smoky; apple way in the background; thin-medium viscosity and mouthfeel. Finish: Too short. Lingering hint of sweet molasses; toasted marshmallow and caramel apple way at the end. Value: $45-60. $45 USD is a "Sure, I'll roll the dice;" more than that is pushing it. Final thoughts: Fairly enjoyable stuff and I like that Glenfiddich tried something new and thought outside the box. Ultimately an interesting and not super complex dram, but seem to try and act like it is, which leads me to think it could have been amazing with more age. 3/5 stars. Recommend trying or buying a bottle at a good price.
