Description

Glenfiddich was founded by William Grant, who had learned his craft at Mortlach, and the first spirit ran from the stills on Christmas Day 1887. Glenfiddich is also credited with creating the world's interest in single malt whisky with the launch of the Straight Malt in 1963. Still family owned, it was the first single malt brand to sell 1 million cases in a year. Bottled in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Glenfiddich Distillery Visitor Centre.

Nose
A luxurious aroma of vanilla toffee and leather, with waves of tropical fruit like banana and fig, subtle ginger, lime zest, and toasted oak.
Palate
Silky and refined, with initial sweetness of toffee and brown sugar, giving way to complex flavors of grilled pineapple, coconut, honey, pear, and a hint of smoke.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering notes of oak spice, dark chocolate, a subtle tobacco leaf quality, and a gently spicy, dry aftertaste.
