Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Cuban Rum Finish
Lot number: 015270
Winning bid: £100
The story goes that when this bottling was released it caused a stir in the US markets due to the associations with the dreaded Cuba that its label implied.
This led to its name being changed on later batches to 'Gran Reserva' and later to 'Caribbean Rum Finish'.
It's still pretty much the same whisky inside the bottle but the history makes these first releases under the 'Havana' banner spark a fair few glints in most collectors' eyes.
70cl and 40%
