Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve
Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve
Think a bourbon heart can't hold a single malt soul? Our 14 year old bourbon barrel reserve delivers the smooth sophistication of scotland with the sweet kick of american bourbon.
Our malt master, brian kinsman, waits 14 years as the whisky matures in ex-bourbon american oak casks. He then finishes the whisky in charred new american oak barrels supplied by the kelvin cooperage in louisville, kentucky.
NOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
