✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich Archive Collection Cask No 11560 represents an extraordinary chapter in Scotch whisky history. Distilled in the valley of the Deer (Glenfiddich in Gaelic), this rare 49-year-old single malt was nurtured in a single exceptional cask, surviving nearly half a century of slow maturation in the distillery's traditional earthen-floored dunnage warehouses. Utilizing the pristine, mineral-soft waters of the Robbie Dhu spring and distilled in Glenfiddich's uniquely shaped copper pot stills, this expression showcases the profound influence of long-term wood interaction. Over its five-decade slumber, the spirit developed an incredibly complex profile of rich dried fruits, polished antique oak, dark chocolate, and subtle peat smoke, embodying the pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship and the legacy of the Grant family.
🍾 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.
