✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic—was established by William Grant in 1887. The Glenfiddich 40 Year Old is a legendary masterpiece of single malt Scotch whisky, representing the pinnacle of the distillery's craft. This exceptional expression is renowned for its pioneering 'remnant vatting' process, a continuous blending method where remnants of the previous 40-year-old batch are carried over and married with the next. Matured in a combination of exquisite American oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this whisky absorbs decades of character from the wood. It offers an incredibly rich, complex profile defined by dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke, echoing the historic legacy of Speyside's pristine Robbie Dhu spring water and traditional copper pot stills.
🍾 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.
