✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich Single Malt Ancient Reserve 18 Year Old in its iconic Blue Spode Decanter represents a marriage of traditional distilling artistry and classic British craftsmanship. Established by William Grant in 1886, Glenfiddich remains one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family-owned. This exquisite expression is matured for eighteen years in a combination of Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and traditional American bourbon oak, drawing character from the pure, mineral-rich waters of the Robbie Dhu spring. The presentation in a beautifully decorated ceramic decanter crafted by Spode, the historic English pottery house founded in 1770, celebrates the deep heritage of both brands. The resulting whisky is remarkably rich and complex, offering signature Speyside notes of baked apple, oak, cinnamon, and dried fruits.
🍾 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.
