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.
