Comments:

Matured in Cuban rum casks (no longer available, replaced by the plain old 21 yo). This is a nice oaky expression of Glenfiddich, with the rum casks adding notes of tobacco, and maybe the hints of chillies. I think this would have benefited from being a tad stronger. Still quite tasty, if slightly disappointing.

Verdict:

Not bad.
