Glenfiddich Fire & Cane

Glenfiddich Fire & Cane is a no-age-statement, lightly peated single malt Scotch whisky from the Glenfiddich Distillery in Speyside, the fourth release in the Experimental Series, bottled at 43% ABV.

How is it made?

Glenfiddich's rarely seen peated whisky is combined with unpeated single malt matured in bourbon casks. This blend then receives a final maturation in casks that previously held Latin American rum. The result is a whisky that brings peat smoke together with the caramel sweetness of the rum cask, setting it apart from the brand's usual profile.

What does Glenfiddich Fire & Cane taste like?

The nose shows soft peat notes like distant smoke on the wind, rich sweet caramel, lively fresh fruit and spice. The palate offers a smoke reminiscent of peat fire, oak and caramel, alongside tart green fruit and baked apple. The finish leaves smoke and sweetness lingering for a long time.

How should it be served?

It can be enjoyed neat, with a few drops of water, or on ice; its smoky, sweet character also works in cocktails.

What food does it pair with?

Its sweet, smoky character pairs well with spicy dishes such as barbecued meats and spiced sausage; it also makes an interesting match with plain ice cream.
