✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the valley of the deer ('Glenfiddich' in Gaelic), this incredibly rare 36-year-old single malt represents the pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship. Distilled in 1978 and matured in a single oak cask (No. 28121) until its bottling in 2015, it embodies the legacy of William Grant, who founded the distillery in 1886 with his family's bare hands. Glenfiddich remains one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family-owned, preserving traditional methods such as using uniquely shaped copper pot stills and sourcing pristine water from the Robbie Dhu spring. This exceptionally long-aged expression showcases a complex tapestry of rich oak, dried orchard fruits, warm baking spices, and a delicate honeyed sweetness, a testament to nearly four decades of silent maturation in the cool Speyside climate.
🍾 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.
