✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, this exceptionally rare single malt Scotch whisky represents a historic collaboration between the legendary Glenfiddich Distillery and the iconic Cunard line, crafted to celebrate the maiden voyage of the ocean liner Queen Mary 2. Established in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, the 'Valley of the Deer,' Glenfiddich is renowned for its traditional copper pot stills and use of pure Robbie Dhu spring water. This private vintage release, matured in hand-selected oak casks, showcases the classic Speyside character—rich, elegant, and deeply complex with notes of dried fruits, warm spice, and subtle oak. It stands as a liquid monument to the golden era of transatlantic travel and Scottish distilling heritage.
🍾 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.
