✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—was founded by William Grant in 1886. The Glenfiddich 40 Year Old is a legendary single malt Scotch whisky, celebrated for its pioneering 'remnant vatting' process. In this meticulous method, remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch are carried over and married with newly selected casks, creating a continuous thread of liquid history that spans decades. Aged in exceptional ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, this rare expression offers an unparalleled depth of character, weaving together rich notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, stewed prunes, and a whisper of peat smoke, reflecting over a century of family-run distilling heritage.
