✨ 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 blev grundlagt i 1886 af William Grant og hans ni børn og er i dag et af Skotlands mest historisk betydningsfulde og vedvarende uafhængige, familieejede destillerier. Destilleriet ligger i Dufftown i hjertet af Speyside, hvor det henter sit rene, mineralbløde procesvand udelukkende fra Robbie Dhu-kilderne, der udspringer i det omkringliggende tørve- og kvartslandskab. Destillationen foregår i usædvanligt små kobberkedler med en ganske særlig form. Kedlerne er nøje genskabt med præcis samme kurver som de oprindelige beholdere fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede for at fremme dannelsen af aromatiske estere. Glenfiddich var en afgørende drivkraft, da det globale marked for single malt skotsk whisky blev revolutioneret i 1960'erne. Under ledelse af Malt Master Brian Kinsman udmærker destilleriet sig i dag ved eget bødkeri og et Solera vat-system. Det skaber en ikonisk husstil præget af friske pærer, delikate hvide blomster, diskrete fadnoter og kompleksiteten fra tørret frugt, som det smukt kommer til udtryk i aftapninger som 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Caribbean rum cask finish og Rare Collection.
