✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—was founded by William Grant in 1886. The distillery's legendary 40-Year-Old Single Malt is a masterpiece of Scotch whisky craftsmanship, renowned for its unique 'remnant vatting' process. In this meticulous method, Glenfiddich's Malt Master hand-selects some of the oldest and finest casks of Oloroso sherry and American oak, marrying them in a dedicated tun with remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch. This creates a continuous, living liquid lineage that dates back decades. The spirit itself is distilled using the same unusually small, uniquely shaped copper pot stills installed by William Grant himself, and is cut with the pristine, mineral-rich waters of the Robbie Dhu spring. The result is an extraordinarily rich, dark, and complex mahogany-hued malt, offering deep layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke.
🍾 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.
