✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
