✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Dufftown in Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich was founded in 1886 by William Grant, who built the distillery by hand with his family. The name Glenfiddich translates from Gaelic as 'Valley of the Deer', symbolized by the iconic stag logo. This ultra-rare 50-Year-Old Third Release represents the pinnacle of patient maturation, drawn from historic casks that have rested in dunnage warehouses for half a century. Nourished by the Robbie Dhu spring water and matured in hand-selected oak, this exquisite single malt offers unparalleled complexity, weaving together rich notes of antique oak, delicate floral aromas, and deep, lingering dried fruit and spice. It is a liquid testament to generations of distilling heritage and the slow, silent passage of time in the Scottish Highlands.
🍾 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.
