✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
