Glenfiddich 12 Year Old

Gran Reserva add an indulgent finishing touch to any moment, transforming uncommon into unequalled. Patiently mellowed for 21 years in Scotland, it starts quiet, restrained but rich with a defiant Glenfiddich Distillery DNA. Only when it has reached perfection does it get its time to shine. Finished in Caribbean reserva rum casks to add sharp ginger, sultry fig and uplifting lime notes that build to a crescendo of sweet toffee and spicy exotic warmth.

TIME, AN ABSTRACT ENTITY, ACCUMULATES IN LAYERS

IT IS VISIBLE IN A ROCKY VALLEY’S MANY SOLID STRATA; LAID DOWN OVER MILLENNIA, WORN SMOOTH BY WIND AND RAIN. AND WITH LAYERS COMES COMPLEXITY. WHICH IS WHY GLENFIDDICH 40 IS SO MUCH MORE THAN AN EXEMPLARY SINGLE MALT. THIS RARE SINGLE MALT IS MADE THROUGH REMNANT VATTING, A PIONEERING PROCESS IN WHICH OUR 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 IT’S FOUR-DECADE FORMULATION TO CREATE AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESSION. IT IS TIME, AGE, EXPERIENCE ACCUMULATED. PHYSICAL. TANGIBLE. LAYER UPON LAYER OF MAVERICK THINKING, MADE MANIFEST.

THE TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
Dark mahogany.

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.
