It releases warm notes of yellow fruit, including pear and apple. Nuances of citrus are perceived in the background. Custard and balsamic herbs follow.

Fairly intense in the beginning. A mix of wood and ripe fruit are perceptible, making their way on a slightly sweet base. Nuances of cocoa, almost imperceptible, reach the palate as well.
Finish
Of medium persistence. Notes of spices, wood and walnut develop.
Overall, Glenfiddich Fire and Cane is a Scotch whisky with a fairly large flavor profile and a good intensity. Simple to appreciate and with an evaluation in line with the other releases belonging to the “Experimental Series”.
