✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant alongside his nine children, Glenfiddich stands as one of Scotland's most historically significant and enduringly independent, family-owned distilleries. Situated in Dufftown within the heart of Speyside, the distillery draws its pure, mineral-soft process water exclusively from the Robbie Dhu springs, which flow through nearby peatlands and quartz terrain. Distillation is conducted in unusually small, distinctively shaped copper pot stills, meticulously replicated down to the exact curvature of the original late-nineteenth-century vessels to preserve high ester formation. Glenfiddich was instrumental in pioneering the modern global market for single malt Scotch in the 1960s. Today, under the guidance of Malt Master Brian Kinsman, the distillery is distinguished by its on-site cooperage and Solera vat system, crafting an iconic house profile marked by fresh orchard pear, delicate white blossom, subtle oak spice, and dried fruit complexity exemplified in releases like the 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Caribbean rum cask finish and the Rare Collection.
