✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich distillery was founded in 1887 by William Grant, whose vision created one of the world's most celebrated single malt whiskies. The name Glenfiddich translates from Gaelic as 'Valley of the Deer,' a nod to the wild stag that roams the region. The Single Malt Cask Selection No 00036 30 Year Old is a testament to three decades of patient maturation. Crafted using the pristine, mineral-rich waters of the Robbie Dhu spring, this exceptional spirit is aged in a combination of Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and American bourbon oak barrels. The slow maturation in Speyside's cool, damp climate allows the whisky to develop an extraordinary depth of character, marrying notes of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, warm oak, and delicate floral heather, all while maintaining the signature orchard fruit character that defines the distillery's historic copper pot stills.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant alongside his nine children, Glenfiddich stands as one of Scotland's most historically significant and enduringly independent, family-owned distilleries. Situated in Dufftown within the heart of Speyside, the distillery draws its pure, mineral-soft process water exclusively from the Robbie Dhu springs, which flow through nearby peatlands and quartz terrain. Distillation is conducted in unusually small, distinctively shaped copper pot stills, meticulously replicated down to the exact curvature of the original late-nineteenth-century vessels to preserve high ester formation. Glenfiddich was instrumental in pioneering the modern global market for single malt Scotch in the 1960s. Today, under the guidance of Malt Master Brian Kinsman, the distillery is distinguished by its on-site cooperage and Solera vat system, crafting an iconic house profile marked by fresh orchard pear, delicate white blossom, subtle oak spice, and dried fruit complexity exemplified in releases like the 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Caribbean rum cask finish and the Rare Collection.
