Glenfiddich 40 Year Old - Rare Collection (Release Number 17)
Glenfiddich's spectacular single malt Scotch whisky is particularly well-suited to long maturations (and it's also marvellous at more youthful age statements too – generally, it's excellent stuff), which is why the 40 year old expressions from the Rare Collection are highly sought-after and much adored. This is 17th release in the series, featuring whisky matured for four decades, as well as remnants from the previous bottling making its way into the blending process. Immensely satisfying and complex.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Beautifully rich and aromatic with layer upon layer of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and ripe black cherries. Occasional wafts of gentle wood smoke, polished leather and cloves.
Palate
Silky smooth and luxuriously mouth coating. The initial flavours are intense dried fruits, Christmas cake, dates, raisins and stewed apples. Over time slightly dryish oak notes appear with some bitter chocolate and just the merest hint of peat.
Finish
Incredibly long lasting and complex – a truly memorable experience.
