The world's best-selling single malt whisky brand and the first distillery to produce single malt whisky. In 2017, Glenfiddich sold 121 million cases a year, ranking first of all single malt whisky in Scotland, cementing its position in the Million Spirits Club. In the Scottish Gaelic language, Fiddich means stag, Glen means valley, and Glenfiddich means "valley of the deer". Scotland's highlands, especially the abundant Speyside appellation, are home to whisky distilleries nestled between valleys, starting with Glen.
Glenfiddich uses a single source of water from the Robidau Springs and uses a uniquely shaped "swan-necked" copper still, which is smaller than the stills used in most distilleries today. For these copper stills, Glenfiddich has been maintaining these copper stills since 1957 by employing a team of professional coppersmiths to maintain them.
12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old and 21-year-old are the core wines of Glenfiddich and are the most common Glenfiddich. As a pioneer in the single malt category, Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is the starting point for many single malt whisky lovers, and you'll find this classic whisky in any bar. Glenfiddich 12 Year Old in new oak barrels has a creamy, rounded and supple mouthfeel, with fresh apple and grass aromas embellished with a sweet taste that is not easy to taste.
Glenfiddich 15 Year Old is one of the few whisky skies in Scotland to use the Solera blending system, which is first blended with three types of oak barrels, Spanish sherry, American bourbon and brand new oak barrels aged for more than 15 years, and then rested in the Solera blend vats, resulting in a result with an amber-like colour and a rich aftertaste. On the Tmall flagship store of Glen Father and Son, Glenfiddich is priced at 388 yuan for 15 years.
Glenfiddich '18 is a cut above '15 compared to '18, and many believe that '18 is the best in the Glenfiddich core set. Aged for at least 18 years in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and American bourbon casks with a well-balanced woody and malty profile, this single malt whisky is brewed in no more than 150 casks per batch, blended in jumbo blends to ensure a consistent variety of flavours in each batch. Glenfiddich has performed very well in 18 years, and the price is also very friendly, and the price of the Tmall flagship store is 552 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
Glenfiddich 21 Year Old is a four-month maturation of the original spirit in American oak barrels in American oak barrels for up to four months, during which the liquor draws on the characteristics of the rum to produce a warm, slightly spicy style with the sweetness of toffee and cinnamon. If you plan to give a gift, you may wish to consider this high-vintage single malt whisky, priced at 1259 yuan, with high-grade packaging, as a gift to customers, relatives and friends, without losing style.
