✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Steeped in the rich lore of Speyside, the Glenfiddich Centenary Edition was crafted to celebrate a monumental milestone: one hundred years since William Grant and his family hand-built the distillery, with the first spirit flowing on Christmas Day in 1887. Named after the Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer,' Glenfiddich has remained family-owned, preserving traditional methods such as using the pristine Robbie Dhu spring water and maintaining onsite coopers. This historic release showcases the classic Speyside character, shaped by distillation in uniquely shaped copper pot stills and patient maturation in fine oak casks, yielding a spirit celebrated for its elegant notes of orchard fruits, gentle oak spice, and subtle honeyed warmth.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glenfiddich Distillery blev grundlagt i 1886 af William Grant og opført ved håndkraft med hjælp fra hans familie. Destilleriet ligger i hjertet af Dufftown i Skotlands berømte Speyside-region og er den dag i dag stadig uafhængigt ejet af William Grant & Sons. I 1963 skrev destilleriet historie ved at bane vejen for single malt whisky på det internationale marked, der hidtil havde været domineret af traditionelle blends. Glenfiddich fremstiller sin whisky på det krystalklare kildevand fra de nærliggende Robbie Dhu-kilder, destillerer på karakteristiske svanehalsformede kobberkedler og råder over eget bødkeri for at have fuld kontrol over modningen på førsteklasses amerikanske og europæiske egetræsfade. Destilleriet er verdenskendt for sin ikoniske trekantede flaske og skaber en anmelderrost portefølje af single malts, der er kendetegnet ved destilleriets signaturnoter af frugthave, sprøde grønne pærer, fine florale nuancer samt en bemærkelsesværdig dybde i de sjældne årgangsaftapninger.
