Glenfiddich Distillery was established in 1886 by William Grant. With the help of his nine children and a single stonemason, William built the distillery by hand. He used second hand stills purchased from Cardhu Distillery, and, during the project, continued to work at his day job - Distillery Manager at Mortlach Distillery. Located in Dufftown, in Speyside, the first drop of spirit flowed through the stills on Christmas Day 1887.
Constantly innovating and evolving, Glenfiddich became the first distillery to open a visitor centre in 1969. In 1991, they released the first 50 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Today, Glenfiddich remains a family-owned business, operated by the fifth generation of William Grant's descendant. It continues to be one of the best selling Single Malt Scotch Whiskies in the world.
This bottling is part of the Glenfiddich Experimental Series, a range of single malts which embodies the family philosophy of freedom and possibilities.
Glenfiddich Fire & Cane is a bold fusion of smoky and sweet notes. By marrying peated whisky and malts matured in Bourbon barrels, before finishing them in Latin Rum Casks, they have created and exquisite whisky with campfire smokiness and toffee sweetness.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Golden.
Nose - Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke on the wind. Rich sweet toffee with zesty fresh fruit notes and spiciness.
Taste - Like a Highland peat campfire, with oak notes and toffee. Sharp green fruit, sweet baked apple and soft smoke.
Finish - Lingering smokiness and sweetness.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
