Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Red Wine Cask 19 Years is a single malt Scotch whisky produced in Speyside, Scotland. It was aged for 19 years and finished in South American red wine casks. Bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml format, the whisky commemorates the 1831 voyage of Charles Darwin aboard the HMS Beagle.
In the mouth, it is spicy thanks to the influence of South American wine like Malbec, with additional notes of leather, pepper, stewed fruit, and chocolate.
For the whisky drinker who enjoys superb packaging, and a somewhat limited, middle-aged Scotch, I can recommend the Red Wine Cask Finish. Otherwise . . . save your gold doubloons.
