Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask 19 Years is the second release in the Age of Discovery collection and the distillery’s only expression exclusively matured in American bourbon casks. It is inspired by the historic transport of bourbon casks to New Orleans.
Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask is good and it wouldn’t take much for it to be excellent. They just need to remove less of its essence, mess with it less, and I think it could be stellar.
The finish has touches of charred wood and incense, leaving you with motes of popcorn, a nod to that Bourbon barrel heritage. Overall there is lots to like here, but I think that’s mainly a testament to smart barrel selection.
