✨ Technical Specifications
Deep in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich distillery has been crafting legendary single malts since William Grant built it by hand in 1886. The Havana Reserve 21-Year-Old is a testament to this pioneering spirit. After maturing for over two decades in traditional oak casks, this exceptional expression underwent a unique finishing period in casks that previously held rich Cuban rum. This innovative process infuses the classic Speyside character—defined by the pure Robbie Dhu spring water and elegant orchard fruit notes—with a vibrant, exotic warmth. The result is a luxurious whisky boasting layers of sweet toffee, spicy ginger, and ripe fig. The bottling holds a legendary status among collectors, particularly due to its historical name, which was later rebranded to Gran Reserva for international markets.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant alongside his nine children, Glenfiddich stands as one of Scotland's most historically significant and enduringly independent, family-owned distilleries. Situated in Dufftown within the heart of Speyside, the distillery draws its pure, mineral-soft process water exclusively from the Robbie Dhu springs, which flow through nearby peatlands and quartz terrain. Distillation is conducted in unusually small, distinctively shaped copper pot stills, meticulously replicated down to the exact curvature of the original late-nineteenth-century vessels to preserve high ester formation. Glenfiddich was instrumental in pioneering the modern global market for single malt Scotch in the 1960s. Today, under the guidance of Malt Master Brian Kinsman, the distillery is distinguished by its on-site cooperage and Solera vat system, crafting an iconic house profile marked by fresh orchard pear, delicate white blossom, subtle oak spice, and dried fruit complexity exemplified in releases like the 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Caribbean rum cask finish and the Rare Collection.
