✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenfiddich, meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, was established in 1886 by William Grant in the heart of Speyside. This incredibly rare private vintage release, Cask No 26597, was specially selected and bottled to commemorate the centenary of Turnberry, the iconic Scottish luxury resort and legendary golf destination. Crafted using the pristine waters of the Robbie Dhu spring, distilled in Glenfiddich's uniquely small copper pot stills, and matured in a single hand-selected oak cask within the distillery's traditional dunnage warehouses, this expression represents a historic marriage of two Scottish icons. It showcases the classic Speyside character—rich, complex, and deeply elegant—imbued with decades of quiet maturation and historical significance.
🍾 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.
