Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve is a Speyside single malt crafted by Malt Master Brian Kinsman, who matures the whisky for fourteen years in ex bourbon American oak casks before reawakening it in deep charred new American oak barrels supplied by The Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky. The result is a uniquely American take on Glenfiddich's signature spirit, blending Scottish single malt sophistication with the rich vanilla character of fresh bourbon style oak. Bottled at 43% ABV, this is a US exclusive expression that has earned multiple international spirits awards and remains one of the most accessible cask finished single malts on the market.
