Glenfiddich 40 year old
Glenfiddich 40 year old Representing Cumulative Time, the 40-Year-Old is rich with flavours evolving from deep fruit notes, finishing with subtle hints of bitter chocolate and peat. According to the label, the expression represents remnant vatting, a process where the remnants of the previous batch are carried over each time. From there, they are married with the casks selected for each subsequent release.
It’s a unique process that isn’t commonly used. In fact, Glenfiddich is the only distillery that still makes use of the remnant vatting process, which is a testament to the label’s traditional approach to distillation. The decanter is housed in a stunning sculptural container and stopper made from jesmonite.
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.
ABV: 44.6%
