Glenfiddich 50 Year Old
This exquisite whisky has been drawn from two casks, both having spent the last 50 years maturing in the darkness and chill of Warehouse 8. Before bottling, our Malt Master married them for six months with great care in an American oak barrel to give the wondrous array of flavours and aromas an unrivalled harmony.
Every bottle of this finest Single Malt is uniquely hand-blown and individually numbered in wax before our sixth-generation silversmith,Thomas Fattorini, applies his finishing touches. Presented in a classic, hand-stitched, black leather case with accompanying hand-woven silk lining, one is left in no doubt as to the pedigree of this creation.
Colour
Golden amber.
Nose
A beautifully harmonious with an uplifting, vibrant and complex aroma. Delicate floral notes (rose petals and violets) are intriguingly intertwined with green tobacco leaf and oak and just a faint hint of smoke.
Taste
Initially very sweet with a zesty orange marmalade and vanilla toffee, which then cascades through a wonderful series of layers: aromatic herbs, floral and soft fruits, silky oak tannin and hints of gentle smoke.
Finish
Exceptionally long with a touch of dry oak and the merest trace of peat.
