✨ 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.

🍾 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.
