✨ Technical Specifications
Established in 1886 by William Grant in the heart of Speyside, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—has become an icon of Scotch whisky. The Rare Collection represents the absolute pinnacle of the distillery's library, featuring single cask bottlings of extraordinary age. Cask No. 20148 is a majestic 37-year-old single malt that captures the slow, silent magic of Dufftown's microclimate. Over nearly four decades of maturation, the spirit has absorbed the deep character of its oak cask, transforming the classic Speyside profile of fresh pear and honey into a complex tapestry of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, warm baking spices, and elegant, refined oak.
🍾 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.
