Celebrating 125 years of whisky making at The Glenfiddich Distillery, independent family-owned distiller William Grant & Sons (WGS) recently unveiled the Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage, an exclusive 25 year old expression.
This innovative 25 year old blend has an unusually high ABV of 55.2% which further signifies the uniqueness of this precious, cask-strength liquid. It is a true connoisseur’s choice and with a host of evocative flavours and subtle aromas, it marks another milestone in Glenfiddich’s pioneering history.
Glenfiddich known to be as the World’s Most Awarded single malt Scotch whisky released only 286 bottles of the Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage, making it one of the rarest and finest examples of Glenfiddich’s malt making expertise. Decorated in rustic copper and a rich blue with a beautiful case, the presentation and packaging of each of these individually numbered bottles continues to reflect the brand’s rich history.
“Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage celebrates an illustrious 125 years of innovative whisky making. It’s a true honour to be able to choose such an exceptionally rare spirit to celebrate Glenfiddich’s pioneering legacy and our continuing commitment to create ‘the best dram in the valley’. With Malaysia’s growth in fine whiskey appreciation in the last few years, it is indeed very exciting for us to introduce this one-of-a-kind whisky to this part of the world.”
