Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition - b. 2012 - 70cl

Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition (70cl, 43%)
A limited edition release from 2012 to celebrate the distilleries 125th Anniversary. At the time this was only available through Travel Retail. A collectors piece for fans of the brand.

In honour of 125 years of whisky production, Glenfiddich released this limited edition single malt Scotch whisky in 2012. For this expression, the chaps at Glenfiddich have used a combination of peated and unpeated whiskies aged in a large proportion of Spanish ex-Sherry butts, as well as American ex-bourbon casks. It was presented alongside a copper stopper, a leaflet giving some background on the release and a handsome presentation case.

This was a limited edition Glenfiddich created by Brian Kinsman in 2012 to reflect 125 years of pioneering spirit at the distillery. The whisky was crafted to the style of Glenfiddich in William Grant's day, and is a marriage of peated whiskies matured mainly in American oak casks.

Glenfiddich was an early advocate of the single malt Scotch category, and their faith is rewarded today by being one of the best-selling Scotch brands in the world. The distillery was built by William Grant in 1886, distilling its first spirit on Christmas day the following year. Today it is still part of the family-owned, William Grant & Sons. They became the first distillery to actively market their single malt brand in 1963, and were the first to open their facility to visitors. Glenfiddich was an important trailblazer in the whisky industry, who's contribution cannot be forgotten. The scale of their operation today is a testament to this.
