✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Deep in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, lies the Glenfiddich distillery, founded by William Grant in 1886. Named after the Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer,' Glenfiddich has preserved its traditional distilling heritage for generations, still utilizing the Robbie Dhu spring for its exceptionally pure water. The Single Malt Rare Collection Cask 22742 39YO is an extraordinary testament to time and patience. Distilled in 1978 and matured for nearly four decades in a single oak cask, this ultra-rare expression captures the essence of Speyside's gentle microclimate. The slow, decades-long interaction between the spirit and the wood has yielded a remarkably complex profile, rich with notes of dark dried fruits, seasoned oak, delicate spice, and a whisper of classic Glenfiddich orchard fruit character.
🍾 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.
