Glenfiddich 25 Year Old Rare Oak Single Malt Whisky

In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William Grant set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work, it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer.
William’s passion, determination and pioneering spirit continues to guide us today. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and is now the World's Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a true reflection of our founder’s innovative nature, passed down through the generations

Launched for travel retail in 2014, this bottling of 25 Year Old from Glenfiddich was matured in a mixture of American oak and European sherry casks. Over two and a half decades the wood from large sherry butts gradually gives the whisky deeper, richer fruit flavours. The smaller American oak barrels impart flavour much more quickly and infuse the single malt with soft vanilla notes and a hint of spice. Finally married together in small batches, this whisky is abundant with complex aromas and flavours.
