✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—was established by William Grant in 1886 with the help of his nine children. The Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Rare Collection is a legendary pinnacle of Scotch whisky craftsmanship. It is famously produced using a pioneering remnant vatting process, where a portion of the previous 40-year-old batch is carried over and married with newly selected casks of exceptional age, creating a continuous thread of liquid history. Matured in a combination of exquisite Oloroso sherry and American oak casks, this rare expression exhibits an unparalleled depth of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke, representing the ultimate heritage of Speyside distilling.
🍾 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.
