Glenfiddich Bourbon Barrel 14
Fourteen years in ex-bourbon casks, followed by a short finish in new, freshly charred American oak. Toffee, orange peel and toasted wood at 43%: the Glenfiddich for bourbon lovers.
Twice the American oak
Bourbon Barrel 14 is the first Glenfiddich aged in two types of American oak. Fourteen years in ex-bourbon casks form the foundation and give it a rich, sweet flavor. The whisky then gets a short finish in new, freshly charred American oak casks, which lend it a vibrant vanilla note.
So there’s no sherry wood involved, and you can taste it: while the 12 Years and 18 Years use sherry casks for aging, this whisky is sweet and woody in a bourbon-like way. At 43%, it’s also a little stronger than the classic age statements at 40%, making it a great choice for a stirred cocktail.

Drink it like bourbon
This malt feels right at home wherever you’d normally reach for bourbon: over ice, in a stirred cocktail or with a splash of ginger ale.
Over a large ice cube
5 cl over one large ice cube in a heavy tumbler. The 43% ABV holds up well to dilution; after a few minutes, the vanilla and orange peel come through.
Tumblers →In an Old Fashioned
Briefly stir 50 ml Bourbon Barrel 14, 5 ml sugar syrup and 2 dashes of bitters with ice, pour over a large ice cube and finish with an orange peel. The peel brings out the citrus in the whisky.
Old Fashioned recipe →With ginger ale
40 ml whisky with 120 ml ginger ale in a highball glass full of ice, garnished with a slice of orange. The ginger pairs beautifully with the toffee and toasted wood.
Highball glasses →Bourbon classics, but with malt
