✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 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.
