Glenfiddich 22 YO Brilliant Collection is inspired by the magnificent Spanish Royal Palace and is full of the spirit of the Speyside region. Gran Cortes is aged for 22 years in traditional sherry oak barrels and then finished in Palo Cortado sherry barrels. We carefully select these extremely rare sherry barrels for the barrels, and each barrel is hand-marked with an "X" mark to symbolize its unique quality and style.
The Glenfiddich whisky produced is delicate and lively, with a deep red color. Luxurious aromas of dates, dark chocolate and raisins hit the nose, while rich oak and sweet vanilla linger on the tongue. The fusion of traditional European Scotch whisky and sherry creates an unforgettable experience.
【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.
