✨ wine.spec_sheet
Deep in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, lies the historic Glenfiddich distillery—the 'Valley of the Deer'—founded by William Grant in 1886. The Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Single Malt is an extraordinary monument to Scotch whisky craftsmanship. This rare liquid is crafted using a unique 'rematting' process, where the Malt Master hand-selects exceptional casks, including seasoned Oloroso sherry and American oak, to marry with remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch. This continuous thread of liquid history yields a whisky of unparalleled depth. Nourished by the pristine Robbie Dhu spring waters and distilled in Glenfiddich's signature small copper pot stills, this expression delivers a rich tapestry of dark chocolate, dried fruits, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke, representing the pinnacle of Speyside elegance.
