✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich's Rare Collection Cask 11138 is an extraordinary testament to the art of Scotch whisky maturation. Established in 1886 by William Grant, Glenfiddich has remained family-owned, preserving traditional methods such as using the same Robbie Dhu spring water and uniquely small copper pot stills. This specific release, aged for 36 years in a single hand-selected oak cask, represents the pinnacle of the distillery's inventory. Over nearly four decades of quiet slumber in the cool dales of Dufftown, the spirit has absorbed the profound character of the wood, developing a complex tapestry of rich dried fruits, warm oak spices, and subtle floral undertones that define the classic, elegant Speyside style.
🍾 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.
