84: William Grant & Sons' Rum Finished Whiskies with Jennifer Wren

This episode is a wonderful meeting of two different worlds. Jennifer Wren joins us at Caña Rum Bar to taste us through some of the whiskies offered by William Grant & Sons (Parent Company of Balvenie, Glenfiddich, etc.) that are finished in rum casks. She also brought a few special surprises that you won't hear about anywhere else, so follow her on Instagram (@thejenniferwren) and say thank you! -- What we drank: Tullimore Dew XO Balvinie 14 Caribbean Cask Proprietary Caribbean Rum Blend Glenfiddich 21 Gran Reserva Glenfiddich Fire & Cane -- From the William Grant & Sons' website: It was the dream of William Grant to make the ‘best dram in the valley’ and five generations later, this still holds true.
