About this deal

Translating to 'valley of the deer' in Scottish Gaelic, Glenfiddich distillery is one the oldest family-owned whisky companies in Scotland. A colossus in the whisky industry, Glenfiddich was established by William Grant in 1876 and had the first spirit running off its stills in 1886. Today the company is still run by his descendants, and as the first brand to truly market itself as a single malt whisky , Glenfiddich now accounts for approximately 30% of all single malt sales worldwide. The 20 chosen casks were then married together by Brian Kinsman, the Glenfiddich Malt Master. The final 20 selected malts, matured in everything from aged malts matured in port pipes to old sherry butts and virgin oak bourbon casks.

PALATE: Fruity sweetness and spice. Hints of dried citrus, dry grass and wood dust. Bits of cinnamon and vanilla. Adding water softens the citrus and the spice somewhat. It was clear that Glenfiddich XX was considerably more popular, so I had to add this to my tasting list and capture the tasting notes. It’s an unorthodox whisky to be sure, but much to my surprise it’s a completely worthwhile one. I think it’s because Glenfiddich is not really mixing whiskies at random but is rather mixing these whiskies with a bit of a guided hand. There’s some method to the madness here, perhaps thanks to a benevolent intelligent designer working behind the scenes. How else would the mix of 17 bourbon casks and just 3 wine casks come to be if each of the 20 ambassadors was selecting in a vacuum? Brian Kinsman, Malt Master for William Grant & Sons, was at pains to say that the goal was not to create a whisky that tasted like a beer as “this would defeat the whole point”, but to create a whisky that had multiple layers that would otherwise be unexpected from Glenfiddich and the Scottish single malt category.
