✨ 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.
