✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the heart of Speyside in Dufftown, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic—was established by William Grant in 1886. The Rare Collection Single Cask releases represent the absolute pinnacle of the distillery's artisanal craftsmanship. Each release is drawn from a single, exceptional cask hand-selected by the Malt Master, showcasing the unique interaction between the spirit and the wood over decades of maturation. Typically aged in either traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels or rich European oak Sherry butts, these single malts offer an unadulterated glimpse into Speyside's classic profile: deep honeyed sweetness, rich dried fruits, warm baking spices, and elegant oak complexity, all drawn from the pristine waters of the Robbie Dhu spring.
🍾 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.
