Glenfiddich 21 Year Old

Speyside

Glenfiddich has a tradition of  maturing in rum casks.  For this expression they turn to the casks of the Carribean for their finish.  

A brief four month seems to be all it takes to add rum's vibrant toffee and vanilla notes to that unmistakable Glenfiddich signature flavor.  The many harmonious layers of flavors and aged smoothness equal the recipe for a real winner.

SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE  PAIRING

Chuao - Wild Truffle, Miel and Cinco de Mayo
