✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, founded by William Grant in 1887, the Grand Chateau 31 Year Old is a masterpiece of Scotch whisky craftsmanship. This exceptional single malt represents a rare collision of Scottish distilling heritage and French viticultural artistry. Aged for over three decades, its defining character comes from an unusually long nine-year finish in French Bordeaux red wine casks after initial maturation in American oak. The name pays homage to the grand châteaux of Bordeaux, weaving the classic Speyside profile of ripe orchard fruits and heather honey with the deep, opulent layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and warm spice derived from the wine casks. It is a liquid testament to patience and cross-border terroir fusion.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
