✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the valley of the Deer (Glenfiddich in Gaelic), this legendary Speyside single malt represents the pinnacle of patient craftsmanship. Founded by William Grant in 1886 with the help of his nine children, the distillery still uses the same pristine Robbie Dhu spring water and uniquely shaped copper pot stills. The Ultimate 38 Year Old is an extraordinarily rare release, having rested for nearly four decades in the quiet, damp warehouses of Dufftown. Over these long years, the spirit has breathed the cool Scottish air, absorbing deep, complex notes of dried fruits, rich oak, and subtle spice from carefully selected casks. It stands as a testament to the art of long-term maturation in the heart of Speyside.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
