✨ Technical Specifications
Deep in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, lies the historic Glenfiddich distillery, founded by William Grant in 1886. This extraordinary liquid, distilled in 1937 and laid to rest in Oak Cask No. 843, survived the tumultuous years of World War II and matured for an astounding 64 years before being bottled in 2001. As one of the oldest and rarest single malt Scotch whiskies ever released, only 61 bottles were drawn from this single cask. The slow interaction with the oak over more than six decades, combined with the cool, damp Speyside climate, allowed the spirit to develop an unparalleled complexity, characterized by deep notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and subtle peat smoke, representing a liquid monument to Scottish distilling heritage.
🍾 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.
