Supple but very complex. A great composition on the nose with still a lot of fresh and dried fruit left with floral notes. Plenty of wood spices and cedar wood . Vanilla and cocoa powder makes this impression more complex. Great aged notes of exotic fruits, toffee apples and cinnamon with a light elegant but very complex and pronounced flavour and finish.
【Glenfiddich 】
Glenfiddich means Valley of the Deer in Gaelic, and the brand's classic logo is a stag, the two echo each other. Located in Dufftown in the Speyside region of Scotland, UK, it is now owned by William Grant & Sons and is one of the few single malt whisky distilleries that has been independently operated by the family from beginning to end.
In 1961, Glenfiddich began using a triangular prism-shaped bottle designed by Hans Schleger. This design is unique and avant-garde, incorporating the three major elements involved in Glenfiddich brewing - water, air and barley malt. In 1963, Glenfiddich sold whisky outside of Scotland using single malt as a selling point, becoming the first single malt whisky brand to break out of Scotland and target global consumers. Since then, Glenfiddich has continued its innovative spirit and in 1969 became the first Scottish distillery to open to the public. Today, under the inheritance of the Grant family, Glenfiddich still continues its unique brewing tradition while boldly innovating and pursuing perfection, which is one of the reasons why it is popular all over the world.
Brian Kinsman has been Glenfiddich's chief brewer since 2009. Brian was taught by David Stewart, former chief brewer at Glenfiddich, and mastered the distillery’s unique brewing techniques. Glenfiddich produces many wines, which have won numerous awards in prestigious competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the International Spirits Challenge and the International Wine & Spirit Competition. It is worth mentioning that many of these wines are rare treasures that have been precipitated over the years, such as Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve 55 Year Old and Rare Collection series of wines. Among them, Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve 55 Year Old is a single malt whisky released in memory of William’s granddaughter Janet Sheed Roberts. Only 15 bottles were produced, 4 of which were collected by her family, so only 11 bottles are in circulation. The Glenfiddich 1937 Rare Collection began aging in the year King George VI was crowned. It was bottled 64 years later and only 61 bottles were produced.
