Product Description

Raised in Scotland. Our Family are perfectionists. at 21 years old, our whisky is remarkable. Patiently raised in our distillery in Scotland, it is an exquisite, traditional speyside whisky, rich and ripe with our Glenfiddich signature notes. But rather than bottle it, our family give Brian Kinsman, our malt master, the freedom to add a sublime finishing touch. Reserva Rum Cask Finish. Rich, Sweet, & Exotic. Roused by The Caribbean. Brian Finishes our single malt in reserva barrels that previously held our own unique caribbean rum, An exclusive recipe from several tropical islands. This caribbean rum finish awakens our scottish whisky, rousing it with extra exotic notes of ginger, fig, lime and a vibrant spicy toffee warmth, elevating it from something great to something extraordinary. Whisky Mavericks. Not many whisky makers would go to the trouble of sourcing their own original rum, but we are not most whisky makers. By being family run since 1887, we've always had the freedom to be innovative and bold - just one of the reasons we've become the world's most awarded single malt scotch whiskey.

Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2017
Entered as Glenfiddich Reserva Rum Cask Finish 21 Years Old ScotchFinished in rum casks, the honey and orange zest aromas suggest a cocktail, not a straight pour of Scotch. These flavors are echoed on the silky palate, opening with cocoa and leather and evolving into a luscious, fudge-like finish …

Entered as Glenfiddich 21 Year OldMost of the flavor in this bright amber spirit is on the finish, with its lingering Sherried-fruit, caramel and nuts. A splash of water further amps up the flavor.
IWSC judges · Gold · 2025
Enticing notes of rum, raisin, salted caramel, and toffee, complemented by a hint of dried fruit and creamy vanilla. On the palate, tropical tastes of mango and gingerbread emerge, interwoven with sweet muscovado and fresh coconut. Beautifully balanced finish. Exquisite.

Sharp apple and oak lead into delicate tastes of floaty cream and buttercream, complemented by caramelised banana and gentle spice, finishing with a subtle touch of vanilla and boiled sweets.
Gold2020iwsc.net ↗
Warm and seductive aromas of oak spice, greengage and gooseberries. On the palate: custard tart with malty, cereal notes. Maple syrup sweetness on the finish.
Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2021
Entered as Glenfiddich 21 year old Reserva Rum Cask Finish, 40%Rich, sweet, and fruity with baked apples drizzled in honey, crisp white pear, honeysuckle, dried banana, vanilla fudge, and pecan pie. … Vibrant, stimulating, sophisticated, and so well balanced that it never risks becoming overly sweet.

Soothing and seamless on the nose and palate with chewy toffee, molasses, nougat, almond butter, vanilla fudge, cinnamon spice, and nutmeg … A pleasing dry finish offsets the sweeter notes. A delicious whisky from beginning to end.
Falstaff · October 2017
Entered as Glenfiddich 21 Year OldDelicate stone fruit and fine caramel sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch on the nose. The delicate, fruity sweetness is well balanced with savouriness. Very mild finish with a sweetish aftertaste.

Entered as Glenfiddich 21 YOJuicy pear on the nose with creamy vanilla and youthful wood. The pear comes out well on the palate, then a strong woody note emerges. Tart finish with herbal notes and cola nut.

Entered as Glenfiddich 21 JahreDelicate nose with some exotic yellow fruit, a hint of sweet milk and salted caramel. The multi-faceted mouthfeel is in line with the nose and a fine savouriness comes through more strongly on the finish.

Entered as Glenfiddich Reserva Rum Cask Finish Aged 21 YearsBehind fine tobacco notes are exotic fruits and toffee, as well as broad malt notes. In the mouth there are layered nougat and caramel, as well as sweetish barrel notes. Long, soft finish.
Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
Entered as Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish… there are lots of sugary aromas and flavors--molasses, toffee, and brown sugar to name a few. As you dig deeper, you also discover espresso, leather, and banana. Despite all the sweets, the finish is dry, but lengthy.
