Glenfiddich 40 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 48%

Once voted “Best of the Best” single malt by Whisky Magazine, as well as a raft of other awards, the annual release of Glenfiddich’s 40 year old is always an exciting occasion. Each bottle is individually numbered and wrapped in hand-stitched calf leather. Each is accompanied by a leather bound book telling its 40 year old story, with certification hand-signed by their longest-serving craftsmen. Less than 1000 bottles are released to the world each year.

Tasting Note

Nose

Beautifully rich with layer upon layer of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and ripe black cherries. Waves of gentle wood smoke, polished leather and cloves.

Palate

Silky smooth and luxurious. Intense dried fruit notes are followed by rich fruitcake, dates, raisins and stewed apples. Over time slightly dry oak notes appear, with a hint of bitter chocolate and the faintest peat notes.

Finish

Incredibly long lasting and complex. Truly memorable.
