✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Dufftown in Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich 'Age of Discovery' 19 Year Old is a masterfully crafted single malt Scotch whisky that pays homage to the intrepid Portuguese explorers of the 15th century. This expression is uniquely finished in oak casks that previously held rich Madeira wine, bridging the gap between Scottish distilling tradition and Portuguese maritime heritage. The Speyside microclimate, defined by the soft, pure waters of the Robbie Dhu spring, shapes the gentle, fruity character of the spirit during its initial aging. The subsequent finish in Madeira casks infuses the whisky with deep, complex layers of ripe figs, caramelized grapes, warm cinnamon, and ginger, resulting in an incredibly rich and velvety texture that honors the spirit of adventure.

Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
