✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, by the historic Glenfiddich Distillery—founded by William Grant in 1886—the 'Age of Discovery' Bourbon Cask Reserve is a majestic 19-year-old single malt. This expression pays homage to the intrepid maritime adventurers of the 15th century who charted new trade routes. Unlike typical finishes, this whisky is matured entirely in American oak casks that previously held bourbon, allowing the spirit to absorb deep, warm notes of vanilla, chewy toffee, and sweet spices. The pure Robbie Dhu spring water, a signature of Glenfiddich, combined with the distillery's uniquely shaped copper pot stills, ensures a spirit of remarkable smoothness and complexity, rich with Speyside's classic orchard fruit character.
🍾 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.
