Description

Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Rare Collection 2008 Edition is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, aged for 40 years in a combination of European Oloroso sherry and American bourbon casks. This limited edition release, bottled in 2008, is part of Glenfiddich's Rare Collection and utilizes a unique 'remnant vatting' process, where a portion of each batch is retained and blended into the next release, creating a continuous thread of aged spirit. Only 600 bottles were produced for this highly sought-after expression, each presented in a high-quality lockable wooden presentation box, often described as hand-stitched calf-leather with an intricately designed lock and key. It has received numerous accolades, including trophies at the ISC and IWSC in 2008.

Nose
Beautifully rich and aromatic with layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and ripe black cherries, complemented by gentle wood smoke, polished leather, and cloves.
Palate
Silky smooth and luxurious, with intense dried fruit notes, rich fruitcake, dates, raisins, and stewed apples. Subtle dry oak notes, bitter chocolate, and a faint hint of peat emerge over time.
Finish
Incredibly long-lasting, complex, and memorable.
