✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfiddich distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant and his family, who built the distillery stone by stone. The name Glenfiddich is Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer', a motif reflected in the distillery's iconic stag emblem. The legendary 40-Year-Old Single Malt is a masterpiece of patient maturation and liquid history. It is crafted using a pioneering 'remnant vatting' process, where the master distiller marries casks of exceptional age with remnants from the previous 40-year-old batch, creating a continuous sensory link across generations. Matured in a combination of fine Oloroso sherry and American oak casks, this rare spirit absorbs the damp, cool Speyside climate, resulting in an incredibly complex profile of dark chocolate, dried fruits, roasted coffee, and faint peat smoke, all softened by decades of gentle breathing in traditional stone dunnage warehouses.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glenfiddich blev grundlagt i 1886 af William Grant og hans ni børn og er i dag et af Skotlands mest historisk betydningsfulde og vedvarende uafhængige, familieejede destillerier. Destilleriet ligger i Dufftown i hjertet af Speyside, hvor det henter sit rene, mineralbløde procesvand udelukkende fra Robbie Dhu-kilderne, der udspringer i det omkringliggende tørve- og kvartslandskab. Destillationen foregår i usædvanligt små kobberkedler med en ganske særlig form. Kedlerne er nøje genskabt med præcis samme kurver som de oprindelige beholdere fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede for at fremme dannelsen af aromatiske estere. Glenfiddich var en afgørende drivkraft, da det globale marked for single malt skotsk whisky blev revolutioneret i 1960'erne. Under ledelse af Malt Master Brian Kinsman udmærker destilleriet sig i dag ved eget bødkeri og et Solera vat-system. Det skaber en ikonisk husstil præget af friske pærer, delikate hvide blomster, diskrete fadnoter og kompleksiteten fra tørret frugt, som det smukt kommer til udtryk i aftapninger som 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Caribbean rum cask finish og Rare Collection.
