✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
