Glenfiddich
18 Year Old
OAK, BAKED APPLE, CINNAMON
ABV 40%, 750ML
We use fine Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak to mature this rich, intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression, but there are many more reasons why this expression is special.
Every batch is individually numbered and carefully watched over. Each has extraordinary consistency and character from an intense marrying period, and a warming, distinguished finish.
A truly exceptional single malt, the result not just of eighteen years of care and attention, but of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations.

Married in small batches
We marry our 18 Year Old in small batches of no more than 150 casks, so that our Malt Master can carefully control each element of its aroma and taste.

MATURING FLAVOUR
Deep in our warehouses, each note of maturing whisky grows and develops over time inside our casks. The baked apple notes of our 18 Year Old were once notes of fresh pear, now mellowed and softened.

PROUD CHARACTER
Our highly experienced coopers say that around 65% of a final whisky’s character comes from the wood it’s matured in. We’re one of the only distilleries with an onsite cooperage to tend to every one of our casks. Because we’re family run, it’s important to keep the things that matter close.
