Glenfiddich 18 Year Old (Limited Edition Design)

Glenfiddich’s one of the best-selling single malts in the world, and the single malt distillery with the biggest capacity. All single malts (and fans) owe them a debt of gratitude as it was their ‘straight malt’ release in 1963 that paved the way to single malt having global appeal. They were also the first to open their doors to visitors in 1969.

What’s more, the descendants of William Grant who established the distillery in 1887, are still the owners. They’ve remained true to their small stills (many still direct fired) from which you’d expect a heavy style, but early cut points mean Glenfiddich’s new make is full of bright, estery pears and apples. All of which means today they require a mind-boggling 43 stills! Glenfiddich 18 Year Old is matured in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks and sees those bright apples becoming baked toffee apples with chocolate developing.
