✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Speyside region of Scotland, the Glenfiddich Single Malt IPA Experiment represents a groundbreaking crossover between traditional distilling and craft brewing. Conceived by Malt Master Brian Kinsman in collaboration with a local Speyside craft brewer, this expression is the first single malt Scotch whisky to be finished in bespoke India Pale Ale craft beer casks. The process began by brewing a vibrant, citrusy IPA specifically designed to season the oak casks. Once the beer had imbued the wood with its hoppy, zesty character, the casks were emptied and filled with Glenfiddich single malt for a finishing period. This innovative technique layers the classic Speyside profile of green apple, pear, and creamy vanilla with vibrant notes of fresh hops, tangy citrus, and a delicate herbal warmth, paying homage to Glenfiddich's spirit of pioneering experimentation since 1887.
🍾 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.
