Mark the Occasion
THE MARK OF REFINEMENT
GRAN CORTES XXII IS A SUMPTUOUS AND SPECTACULAR EXPRESSION, A SHOW-STOPPING DUET OF SPEYSIDE MASTERY AND SPANISH FLAIR, IS FINISHED IN CASKS MORE REVERED AND MYSTERIOUS THAN ANY OTHERS IN THE WINE-MAKING WORLD – THE SHERRY CASKS KNOWN AS “PALO CORTADO”. THE RESULT IS AN INTENSE AND EVOCATIVE WHISKY, EXCLUSIVE TO CHINA AND TAIWAN, THAT TRULY BEFITS SPECIAL MOMENTS OF CELEBRATION AND ACHIEVEMENT.
THE TASTING NOTES
IN THE BODEGAS OF ANDALUCÍA, A PALO CORTADO CASK IS TRADITIONALLY HAND-MARKED ‘X’ TO DENOTE ITS ALCHEMICAL NATURE. NOW, THOSE WHO LOVE TO SAVOUR THE IMPORTANT MILESTONES AS THEY FORGE THEIR PATH THROUGH LIFE ARE INVITED TO MARK THE OCCASION WITH A SINGLE MALT THAT LEAVES A LASTING IMPRESSION.
GLENFIDDICH MALT MASTER, BRIAN KINSMAN, WHO WORKED CLOSELY WITH FAMILY-OWNED SHERRY PRODUCERS IN SOUTH-WEST SPAIN TO ACHIEVE THIS EXQUISITE FUSION OF TWO TRADITIONS, COMMENTED:
“WE WERE THRILLED – AND VERY PRIVILEGED – TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE PALO CORTADO CASKS THAT MAKE GRAN CORTES SUCH A UNIQUE WHISKY.”
