LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The approachable king of malts. While some enthusiasts find it too 'safe,' its flawless balance of fruit and oak makes it the perfect introduction to the world of single malts.

The Library Note

Founded by William Grant in 1887, Glenfiddich means 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic. It was the first distillery to actively market its whisky as a 'single malt' to the world in 1963, essentially creating the category we know today.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Distinctively fresh and fruity with a hint of pear and subtle oak.

THE PALATE

Characteristic sweet, fruity notes. Develops into butterscotch, cream, malt, and a subtle oak flavor.

THE FINISH

Long, smooth, and mellow.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Serve neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate the orchard fruit aromas. A small drop of water can bring out more of the pear and honey notes.

Composition

Malted Barley

Corn

Rye

Spring Water

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

Matured for 12 years in American oak and European oak sherry casks before being married in oak tuns for consistency.
