✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
