Glenfiddich
21 YEAR OLD
VANILLA, SWEET TOFFEE, FIG
ABV 40%, 750ML
We use casks that once contained premium Caribbean rum to finish our 21 Year Old expression. It’s the details that matter. This expression spends four months finishing in Gran Reserva barrels selected by our Malt Master, adding to its distinctive and complex flavour.
Experience an intense and vanilla sweet aroma, floral with hints of banana, followed by a soft, lively taste with lime, ginger and spice and a complex and exceptionally long ending.
Our rum finish releases layers of intensity and sets this 21 Year Old apart from other whiskies.

21 YEARS IN OUR OLDEST WAREHOUSES
Our 21 Year Old is finished in one of our oldest, most intimate stone-built warehouses. The air is thick with maturing aromas and weighty oak casks are stacked on earthern floors.
-
REFINED CARIBBEAN RUM FINISH
Our Malt Master selects only the best Gran Reserva rum casks from the Caribbean, to create a luxurious dry and spicy finish. A perfect complement to our whisky’s fruity signature notes. It is truly a whisky that is raised in Scotland and roused by the Caribbean.

THE WAREHOUSEMEN’S VALINCH
Our highly experienced warehousemen are the eyes of our whisky. They use a valinch, a copper tool which draws samples of whisky from casks and marrying tuns. They carefully check the samples and decide from their hues,
if it is ready for our Malt Master’s nose.
