Glenfiddich, meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, was founded by William Grant in 1886 in Dufftown, the heart of Speyside. The Perpetual Collection VAT 04 represents a masterful fusion of traditional distilling and modern maturation techniques. This 18-year-old single malt is aged in a combination of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks before being married in Glenfiddich's innovative Solera Vat 04, which is kept constantly half full to ensure a continuous, evolving lineage of flavor. The process yields a remarkably complex whisky, rich with notes of baked apple, warm oak, and sweet spice, embodying the pioneering spirit of the Grant family.
