Glenfiddich Distillery

In 1886, William Grant, along with the help of his nine children and a single stone mason, began construction of the Glenfiddich Distillery, situated in the Speyside region of Scotland. After a year of hard labor, the first drop of whisky fell from the distillerys copper-pot stills on Christmas Day 1887. Today, Grants passion, determination and pioneering spirit continue to guide Glenfiddich Distillery, which is stewarded by the fifth generation of the Grant family.Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was created to honor the distillerys long, continuous line of family ownership since its founding by William Grant in 1887. Glenfiddich Age of Discovery is matured for over a quarter century exclusively in American Oak, ex-bourbon casks straight from Kentucky. The Quercus Alba wood used in these casks imparts subtle spices and vanilla notes throughout the aging process, and contributes to an overall soft and delicate whisky. Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich golden color, along with an intense nose filled with apricots, orange blossoms and floral notes reminiscent of a fresh rain. The aroma gives way to a powerful body with honey, almonds, leather and fresh oak, and leads to a delicate and complex. Glenfiddich Age of Discovery earned the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013, and was just released to the United States.(Excellence) goes a little against preconceived notions of very old whiskies, which are more often associated with flavors like chocolate and coffee, says brand ambassador Struan Grant Ralph. This is very light, and shows a lot of subtle flavors.Pick up your bottle today!
