Glenfiddich 14 Years Our Bourbon Barrel Reserve [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that showcases the perfect marriage of Scottish craftsmanship and American oak influence?

Glenfiddich 14 Years Bourbon Barrel Reserve represents a bold departure from traditional Speyside maturation methods. This exceptional expression spends its entire 14-year journey exclusively in American oak, first in ex-bourbon casks, then finished in charred new American oak barrels from Louisville’s renowned Kelvin Cooperage. Unlike other premium Speyside options such as Balvenie’s Caribbean Cask expression or Tomintoul’s 16-year offering, this Glenfiddich focuses purely on bourbon barrel influence.

**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Glenfiddich – Scotland’s most awarded single malt distillery since 1887
• Region: Speyside – renowned for elegant, fruit-forward whiskies
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for both neat sipping and cocktail crafting
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 14 years in ex-bourbon casks, finished in charred new American oak

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression delivers remarkable consistency in its bourbon-forward profile. The exclusive American oak maturation creates deeper vanilla complexity than typical Speyside expressions, earning recognition including Double Gold at the 2023 TAG Global Spirits Awards.
