Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Rum

Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Rum Cask Finish is a vibrant, modern single malt expression produced by William Grant & Sons at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside. After maturing for 12 years in traditional American and European oak casks, the whisky undergoes a finishing period in barrels previously seasoned with Caribbean rum. This secondary maturation elevates Glenfiddich’s iconic crisp orchard-fruit and fresh pear signature with tropical fruit richness, sweet molasses, creamy vanilla, and warm island spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with coconut flan, grilled pineapple with brown sugar glaze, jerk chicken skewers, Key lime pie, or mild creamy cheeses such as young Brie.

Tasting Notes: A lively, vibrant, and sweet single malt featuring notes of ripe tropical fruits, crisp green pear, honeyed malt, dark molasses, and warming ginger spice.

Nose: Fresh and fragrant with aromas of sweet green apple, juicy pear, candied pineapple, brown sugar, vanilla blossom, and subtle nutmeg.

Palate: Smooth, rounded, and coating with flavours of ripe banana, golden syrup, creamy toffee, orchard fruits, and gentle baking spices.

Finish: Medium in length, clean, and warming with lingering notes of tropical sweetness, vanilla cream, and soft toasted oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass, over a large ice cube, or as an elevated base in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned.
