Glenfiddich 19 year old Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask Finish
Review by Glenfiddich
- Colour
Autumn barley fields.
- Nose
Warm, crunchy toffee and deep citrus notes. Marmalade on toast with fine orange liqueur balanced by dry, almost smoky oak tannin.
- Palate
Intriguing layers of light tannin, underpinned by rich notes of vanilla pod, fine leather and Havana tobacco. Develops into a sweet, velvety mouth-feel with spicy hints of cardamom and nutmeg.
- Finish
Warm, delightful long finish.
- Note
-
The Age Of Discovery was a time when cities were expanding. American whisky distilleries were producing more – Tennesee sour mash, bourbon and rye whiskies. Precious bourbon barrels were carried along the Mississippi river on paddle steamers, towards the bustling port of New Orleans. Laying the foundations of our long history maturing whiskies in American oak casks.
