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.
