Glenfiddich Fire & Cane

Tasty, but a bit confusing. I guess I wasn’t really ready for the sweet. The smoke is pretty good, but it almost seems like it’s liquid smoke. It seems more like a built Scotch rather than a crafted one...

Heavy smoke, but also sweet.

I would never peg this as Glenfiddich blind, but I do enjoy the woody peat smoke aroma that gives way to reveal sweet rum toffee. The peat presents itself as being quite peppery in the palate with a layered smokiness among the rum cask flavours and a hint of the typical Glenfiddich green apple hiding way in the back.

Sweet and peat. Very smooth, and great for the price!

The first sip is a warm campfire that brings the smoke billowing into the mouth. The smoke continues to expand in the mouth as your second and third sip brings a melty and sweet toasted marshmallow. The whole experience is a delight.

Let me start with, I really like this scotch. Some may think it is hokey, but its interesting and different. The nose is mellon, honey and a hint of peat. The tongue, blew my mind. First time I tasted it was after eating something sweet, all I got was peat and smoke. STRONG peat and smoke. Then I tried it after a glass of 8yr old Lagavulin, and it was incredibly sweet. I encourage everyone to experiment with this interesting scotch. I love the inventiveness of the Experimental Series.
