Description
Patiently matured for 21 years on‐site at the Glenfiddich distillery, this exquisite, traditional Speysider marks the return of the ‘Reserva’ name to this 21-year-old after a few years under alternative titles. Aged in American oak and French oak casks, the whisky is still finished in rum casks from the Caribbean for four months, however, the expression is now presented in an elegant, bevelled casing the swivels to reveal the bottle.
The Distillery tells us:
“By finishing the whisky in rum casks, it awakens the liquid, rousing it with extra exotic notes of ginger, fig, lime and banana and a vibrant spicy toffee warmth, elevating it from something great to something extraordinary”.
