✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the heart of Speyside, Scotland, Glenfiddich—meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic—was established in 1886 by the visionary William Grant. This rare Single Malt Vintage Reserve, drawn from Cask No. 9015 and bottled in the year 2000, represents the pinnacle of traditional Scottish distilling heritage. Crafted from malted barley and the pristine, mineral-rich waters of the Robbie Dhu spring, this expression was slowly distilled in Glenfiddich's uniquely shaped copper pot stills before undergoing decades of quiet maturation in a single hand-selected oak cask. The microclimate of Dufftown, characterized by cool, damp conditions, allowed the spirit to breathe deeply, absorbing rich notes of dried fruits, warm oak spices, and honeyed malt. It stands as a liquid testament to the enduring legacy of the Grant family and the timeless art of Speyside single cask maturation.
🍾 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.
