I stopped at a local liquor store today to purchase an inexpensive single malt - Loch Lomond, which I have written about before - and the Glenfiddich pictured to the left caught my eye. No age mentioned (but by regulation it must be at least three years old) and an Alc by vol of 43%. The malt master added peat to the Glenfiddich process, matured the whisky in Bourbon casks and then finished it off in Latin rum casks which has given the finished product a distinctive flavour for a Glenfiddich. I did not buy the Fire & Cane but wanted to think about it for a while as part of the anticipation process of trying a fine malt but will give my 'man-in-the-street' to you when I do so. For now here is the word from the distillery:
"Glenfiddich Fire & Cane is a bold fusion of smoky and sweet notes. By marrying peated whisky and malts matured in bourbon barrels, and then finishing in Latin rum casks, we created an exquisite whisky with campfire smokiness and toffee sweetness." re/
