✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
