Glenfiddich, translating to 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, was founded in 1887 by William Grant in Dufftown, Speyside. The 'Age of Discovery' 19-Year-Old Madeira Cask edition pays homage to the intrepid Portuguese explorers of the 15th century who charted new trade routes. This exceptional single malt is matured for nearly two decades in traditional oak casks before undergoing a finishing period in seasoned Madeira wine casks. This unique maturation process marries the classic Speyside character of crisp green apple and pear with the rich, caramelized sugar, dried fig, and warm spice notes imparted by the Madeira wood, creating a complex, historic tapestry of flavor.
