    I tried the Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve and really liked it. Besides the Glenfiddich 14 y.o., are there any other single malts that are aged only in first fill or ex bourbon casks..?

    Below are some malts with a heavy bourbon cask influence. A common thread among these is that most of them do not carry an age statement. The producers use the heavy wood influence to mask the youngness of the spirit. Whether that succeeds is a matter of opinion. :wink:

    Auchentoshan American Oak - All first-fill, ex-bourbon.

    Balvenie Single Barrel 12 Year Old - All first-fill, ex-bourbon.

    Benromach Organic - All virgin American oak casks.

    Bowmore Tempest 10 Year Old – (If you like peat); all first-fill, ex-bourbon.

    Deanston Virgin Oak - Matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in virgin American oak.

    Glen Garioch Virgin Oak - All virgin American oak casks.

    Glenlivet Nadurra First Fill Selection - All virgin American oak casks.

    Glenmorangie Ealanta - All virgin American oak casks; this was the 2013 Private Edition bottling, but a few might be still sitting on the shelves.

    Scapa Skiren - All first-fill, ex-bourbon.

    Tullibardine Sovereign - All first-fill, ex-bourbon.
