✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenfiddich's Experimental Series is renowned for pushing the boundaries of traditional Scotch whisky making, and the 'Winter Storm' is a remarkable marriage of Scottish heritage and Canadian extreme winemaking. Malt Master Brian Kinsman traveled to Canada, where he toured the freezing vineyards of Peller Estates in Niagara. He discovered that the intense, sweet, and highly acidic profile of Canadian Icewine casks provided the perfect foil for Glenfiddich's elegant Speyside spirit, but only when aged for a minimum of 21 years to ensure the oak structure could withstand the intense sweetness. The result is a sublime single malt that balances the classic Speyside notes of heather, honey, and oak with a vibrant, tropical sweetness, candied peel, and a crisp, wine-like finish.
🍾 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.
