I have finally tasted the three Age Of Discovery whiskies from Glenfiddich and i can now tell you, in my humble subjective opinion, the Madeira Cask one is the best, this Red Wine Cask is the worst of the 3, without being bad at all, it is actually very enjoyable. Age Of Discovery is a series of 19yo whiskies, released sometime ago by Glenfiddich, each one with a lovely story about past centuries and discoveries that changed the world. The Red Wine Cask one, its made to honour the HMS Beagle, the ship that took Charles Darwin to South America (actually to Ecuador's Galapagos Islands!) where he developed his theory of the evolution of the species. Bottled at 40%abv, this whisky has a copper color, finished in south american red wine casks. On the nose, it has all the notes from a winey profile. Grapes, prefumed Tobacco and Chocolate. Very spicy, like some grassy clove spice. Chocolate cake. After a first sip, it revealed lemon, some citrus note that resembles a cheap taxi air freshener; and again this vanilla / chocolate cake note. Very appealing. Red apples. Very winey. On the palate, it is very light and very easy drinkable. Red fruits: red apples and strawberries. Very safe, but nice. Aftertaste is all about wine, tobacco and red fruits. It feels like having a chilean red wine. Overall this is a tasty, very light whisky, which will be highly praised amongst wine lovers, but surely feels dim for hardcore whisky enthusiasts. It is like having a fun red fruits juice. My score for it is a fair 87/100, which reflects the lightness of Glenfiddich spirits.
