Overview
When was the last time you saw a Glenfiddich single cask? This is the ultimate Scotch luxury, from your home of the world’s biggest whisky exclusives.
To celebrate the first exclusive Australian Glenfiddich release – and the oldest publicly released Glenfiddich to date – this Scotch powerhouse will be throwing a private Australian dinner and tasting with Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman to the lucky few who snag a bottle, including fancy transport to the event from your nearest capital (T&Cs apply). Both the evening and the whisky are destined to be unforgettable.
Fully matured for 34 years in a single American oak barrel, this 200L single cask lost a staggering near-60% of its liquid to angel’s share over the years, leaving only 82.6L to bottle. The remaining precious liquid was captured naturally with no chill filtration or added colour at cask strength.
You know you’ve really struck gold when Brian starts waxing lyrical about Glenfiddich’s selection of Archive single casks: “A window into the true heart and character of Glenfiddich, these fine and rare casks have been silent in their slumber... allowing layers of flavour to build, mature and are now being awakened.”
