✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—was established in 1886 by William Grant. The Rare Collection Release No. 10 40-Year-Old represents the pinnacle of the distillery's art. This exquisite single malt is crafted using a pioneering 'remnant vatting' process, where remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch are married with newly selected casks, creating a continuous sensory thread that links generations of master distillers. Matured in a combination of exceptional American oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this expression offers an incredibly deep, complex profile of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke, echoing the rich heritage of Dufftown's pure spring waters.
🍾 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.
