Finish Elegant and velvety. Apricot jam and caramel jerseys combine before hazelnuts and soft old oak round out this mouthwatering journey.

This rare and exciting whisky is just the third time these casks have been used for a release in Scotch History. The casks used to finish Glenfiddich Grand Cru are French Cuvée Casks, casks that have been used by producers for the first fermentation of wine that will traditionally go on to become France’s most famous sparkling wine after a second fermentation in bottles.
But the process behind the creation of this whisky was more than just finishing 23 year old whisky in Cuvée casks. Both Glenfiddich aged malt and French wine have elevated intricacies and are delicate liquids, so when working with both you need to pay an extra level of attention to detail.
This task was left in the ever-capable hands of Glenfiddich’s legendary Master Blender Brian Kinsman, who went through their aged stock in search of a certain style of whisky from both American and French casks, that when married together and put into the Cuvée casks would not only highlight the wine notes, but also accentuate and elevate the single malt to a whole new level. Once the whisky was ready after up to 6 months finishing, it was then decanted into the only wooden marrying vats in a Scottish distillery for at least 3 months. This marrying technique, unique to Glenfiddich, helps the flavours integrate and fuse together while mellowing out any unwanted sharp notes that may occur.
Combining subtlety and elegance with a touch of pizazz, this is Glenfiddich - or even whisky - as you’ve never seen it before.
