Description

The Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Age of Discovery Red Wine Cask Finish is the third expression in the Age of Discovery Collection, commemorating Charles Darwin's 1831 voyage on HMS Beagle to South America. This single malt Scotch whisky is aged for 19 years and finished in oak casks that previously held South American red wines, including Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This process imparts spicy, rich, and smooth characteristics with a velvety sweetness and warm, spicy notes. It is a limited edition release.
