Glenfiddich – 18 Year Old – Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 75CL

Description

Gaelic for the valley of the stags, Glenfiddich is the fulfillment of William Grant’s 20-year-old dream of making the best whisky in the valley of Dufftown, Speyside, Scotland. With the help of his family, Grant finally made his dream come true in the summer of 1886, and since then, the legacy has continued to be upheld by the brand.

Awarded gold medals at the 2015 International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) and 2016 at the Spirits Challenge, Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Whisky is the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky. This premium scotch inherits its unique freshness from the same Highland spring water the renowned distillery has used since 1887. Its distinctive fruitiness comes from the high cut point William Grant always insisted upon.

Carefully matured in the finest American oak and European oak sherry casks for at least 18 years, Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Whisky is a truly exceptional single malt, rich, with intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression. It’s the result not just of eighteen years of care and attention, but of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations.

After maturation, the Malt Master adds even warmer and richer flavours to the whisky by uniquely finishing this single malt in first-fill bourbon barrels that once contained rum from the Caribbean. The rum-soaked cask infuses the aged whisky with a spicy warmth and indulgent vanilla and toffee sweetness, the character of the Caribbean shining through. This gives Glenfiddich 18 Years Old Whisky a sumptuous sweet intensity that is both rich and creamy yet still retains the unmistakable character of Glenfiddich.

Great for those expecting a very mature, traditional yet intriguing malt. Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant, and drying. New leather and oak nose combine with complex sweet, smoky, and subtle ginger flavours in this classic Glenfiddich.
