Glenfiddich Bourbon Barrel Reserve 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review

A Scottish single malt with an American drawl, this 14-year-old release ages in former bourbon barrels then spends a short period in new American Oak casks. The nose kicks off with luscious toffee and stone fruit aromas, followed by rich dollop of vanilla and baking spices. While bold and rich, the palate never feels cumbersome.
