In time for the holiday season, Glenfiddich has expanded its innovative Experimental Series range with 'Fire & Cane,' a powerful smokey whiskey that also has a caramel toffee-like taste to it. This unique combination of smokiness and sweetness offers the palate a surprising twist that offers whiskey-lovers a truly unique experience.
Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman further explained the innovative flavor by stating, "During the tastings, some experienced the unusual smoky notes, while others tasted toffee flavors – this phenomenon can be attributed to the Scotch spending three months in sweet rum casks."
Fire & Cane is currently available from Canadian retailers and sells for $80 a bottle. Given the unique flavor that balances the smokey and sweet notes, it makes for the perfect gift for lovers of single malt connoisseurs.
