Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThat early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eNOSE\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFruity notes of green apple and stewed pear with a whack of vanilla.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePALATE\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDark chocolate orange with cinnamon and prune.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFINISH\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDry and spicy with dark chocolate running through.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCOMMENT\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe double maturation is surprisingly clear – the classic bourbon-cask vanilla and green-apple aromas are complemented by typical sherried notes of dark chocolate and prune on the palate.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e43% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is not to be purchased by anyone under the age of 18 or drinking age in their country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe reserve the right to ask for your identification should it be necessary to do so\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenfiddich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54687011176773,"sku":"00112","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4155544504.jpg?v=1746548675","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/glenfiddich-classic-malt-1990s-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
