Patiently matured for 21 years on‐site at the distillery, it is an exquisite, traditional Speyside whisky, rich and ripe with our Glenfiddich signature notes. But rather than bottle it, as other distillers would, our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, hand picks selected barrels and adds a sublime finishing touch. By finishing our 21 Year Old in Caribbean rum casks it awakens the liquid, rousing it with extra exotic notes of ginger, fig, lime and banana and vibrant spicy toffee warmth, elevating it from something great to something extraordinary.

COLOR : Dark gold.

NOSE:  Intense and vanilla sweet. Floral, hints of banana, figs, rich toffee, new leather and oak.

TASTE: Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant and drying, peppery, a touch of smoke, oak, lime, ginger and spices.

FINISH:  Very long, warming, dry and spicy.

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.

COLOR: Rich bronze.

NOSE: A remarkably rich aroma with ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and robust oak.

TASTE: Richly delivers luxurious dried fruit, candy peel and dates. Overlaid with elegant oak notes.

FINISH: Warming, rewarding and distinguished.
