✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich Heritage Reserve Mary Queen of Scots Decanter is a legendary release that marries the art of fine Scotch whisky with Scottish royal history. Established in 1886 by William Grant, Glenfiddich relies on the pristine waters of the Robbie Dhu spring and uniquely shaped copper pot stills to craft its signature fruity and delicate spirit. This special edition, housed in an elegant ceramic decanter depicting Mary, Queen of Scots, celebrates the tragic and romantic historical figure who once ruled Scotland. The liquid inside is a classic Speyside single malt, matured in a combination of traditional American oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, yielding notes of dried fruits, gentle spices, oak, and signature pear-like sweetness.
