Glenfiddich Havana Reserve 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This will be high on the list of Glenfiddich bottles for collectors as it was banned from sale in the USA due to the Cuba / Havana references and thus re-branded. Later batches became 'Gran Reserva' which was replaced with 'Caribbean Rum Finish', while the whisky in the bottle remained much the same.

Other reviews... Nose: Rich and rounded with clean malty notes. Chocolate, caramelised banana, some citric notes, orange pulp, toffee and spice. Palate: The chocolate comes back giving a sweet, balanced dram. Good mature malt character. Finish: Chocolate, coffee and orange peel. Comment: Good balance with the rum at no point overwhelming the whisky. American readers will have to smuggle it into the country along with their Cohibas. -Dave Broom, www.whiskymag.com
