Finally...a ‘fiddich that’s reasonably priced and good?!? At about $50/ bottle, this is a great buy. It’s a departure from the traditional ‘fiddich in that it’s lightly peated. It’s a bold departure, marrying a bourbon matured whisky with a peated whisky, and then finishing it in Caribbean rum barrels. The peat is different than what we’d normally see in Islays. This peat is from Speyside. So, you have less of that phenolic character, and more earthy instead. The peat level is only 5ppm, which is minor compared to what you see in Ardbeg ( 50ppm). So you’re getting a light earthy soot, combined with a sweet aftertaste from the rum. I found this incredibly well balanced, doing the tightrope really well between fruit and light faint smoke. If you go in expecting an Islay style, you’ll be disappointed. But go in acknowledging what a departure this is from the traditional ‘fiddich, and extremely attractively priced at $50. Solid well recommended buy. Just don’t expect a peat monster or Islay wannabe. It’s something else and unique.
