Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Cumulative Time Single Malt Whisky 

Glenfiddich 40 Cumulative Time. This stunning 40 Year Old Single Malt joins the re-imagination of Time Series from legendary Speyside Glenfiddich distillery. ‘Time, an abstract entity, accumulates in layers.’
This rare Single Malt is made through remnant vatting, a pioneering process in which Glenfiddich’s Malt Master carries one batch over, time and again, and marries it with the casks selected for each subsequent release. Cask after cask, season after season, it absorbs the evolving flavours of the passing years. Melding the many liquid layers of its four-decade formulation to create an extraordinary expression. It is time, age, experience accumulated: physical, tangible, layer upon layer of maverick thinking, made manifest.
Just as Glenfiddich 40 is composed through the accumulation of time, so too is the packaging which houses it: a bold, maverick take on a geological metamorphosis. The crystal decanter is housed in a unique, sculptural Jesmonite container. Dramatic grooves carved into this innovative stone-like material exposes the intertwining veins which flow through it.

    Nose:    A deeply layered expression of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and ripe black cherries. Completed with subtle waves of gentle wood smoke, polished leather and cloves.

    Taste:    A luxuriously full and silky-smooth taste, with memories of past releases in every nuanced note. Evolving from deep dried fruit notes to rich fruitcake, dates, raisins and stewed apples, before giving way to dry oaky notes, with subtle hints of bitter chocolate and peat.

    Finish:    Complex, memorable, and exquisitely long-lasting.

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.
