✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenfiddich, founded by William Grant in 1887 in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, represents the pinnacle of family-run distilling heritage. The 'Cumulative Time' 40-Year-Old is a masterpiece from the 'Re-imagination of Time' collection, celebrating the slow, unstoppable march of years. This expression utilizes a pioneering 'remnant vatting' process, where master distillers select exceptional casks of at least 40 years of age and marry them with remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch. This creates a continuous liquid thread that links generations of craftsmanship. Matured in the cool, damp warehouses of Dufftown, the spirit absorbs the essence of the Speyside climate, developing an unparalleled complexity of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a whisper of peat smoke, all softened by decades of interaction with fine oak.
🍾 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.
