✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Glenfiddich distillery in Speyside, Scotland, the 'Age of Discovery' 19-Year-Old pays homage to the intrepid Portuguese explorers of the 15th century who mapped the globe. This exceptional single malt represents a masterful fusion of Scottish distilling heritage and South American viticulture. After maturing for nearly two decades in traditional American oak, this whisky underwent a unique finishing period in oak casks previously used to age rich South American red wines. This finishing process imparts a beautiful crimson hue and infuses the classic Speyside profile of orchard fruits and honey with deep, velvety notes of ripe black cherries, toasted marshmallow, and warm baking spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. 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.
