✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the heart of Speyside, within the valley of the River Fiddich, lies the historic Glenfiddich distillery, founded by William Grant in 1886. The name Glenfiddich is Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer,' a motif that reflects the wild, pristine landscape of Dufftown. This incredibly rare 36-year-old single malt is a crown jewel of the distillery's Rare Collection, selected from a single American Oak Hogshead (Cask 11138) and bottled in 2015. Over nearly four decades of maturation, the spirit breathed the cool, damp Scottish air, absorbing the delicate vanillins, toasted coconut, and soft spice characteristic of premium American oak. This expression represents the pinnacle of Speyside craft, showcasing how patience and the natural microclimate of the warehouse can transform malted barley and pure Robbie Dhu spring water into liquid gold.
🍾 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.
