✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the valley of the deer ('Glenfiddich' in Gaelic), this legendary Speyside single malt is a testament to the vision of William Grant, who established the distillery in 1887 with the help of his nine children. The Rare Collection 30 Year Old is meticulously nurtured by the Malt Master, who hand-selects individual casks of Spanish Oloroso sherry and American bourbon oak. These spirits are married together to create an exceptionally rich, deep expression. The pristine water source, the Robbie Dhu spring, and the uniquely shaped copper pot stills—which have remained unchanged since the distillery's founding—contribute to its signature orchard fruit and subtle floral character, layered with decades of oak, dark chocolate, and warm sherry spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
