Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve Peat Ember Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
The name Caoran comes from the Gaelic for 'Peat Ember', reflecting the special character of this single malt. Its inspiration comes from times past and the pioneering ways of the Glenfiddich malt men who in the days of coal shortages used greater amounts of peat to dry the malted barley. The resulting earthy smokiness perfectly compliments the fruit notes so characteristic of Glenfiddich Single Malt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with a warm coppery glow and a hint of burnished honey.
Nose
Peat ember smoke rises from a bed of malt, earthy and seductive. Bright orchard fruits—apple and pear—gleam through vanilla and toasted barley, with a subtle kiss of oak.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, it opens with ripe orchard fruit lifted by soft peat smoke. Earthy embers mingle with toffee sweetness, vanilla and toasted oak, with a subtle spice driving it forward. The peat lingers, yielding a refined, smoky finish.
Finish
Long, earthy peat smoke lingers, gradually fading to bright orchard fruit, with a delicate kiss of sherry sweetness and warm oak, carried by a whisper of spice.
