This no-age-statement single malt is part of Glenfiddich’s Cask Collection travel retail range, and is matured in ex-Bourbon casks with finishing in red wine casks. The nose has notes of red grapes, raisins, a subtle touch of coconut cream pie, creme brûlée, and a hint of molasses. The taste is honey-sweet with additional notes of maple, cinnamon, clove, and a touch of red grapes while turning dry leading into the finish, which also has touches of grapes, raisins, and a hint of lemon zest.
