Glenfiddich 40 years old with 0.7 liters and 46.6% volume
Tasting a whiskey like Glenfiddich 40 Years Old Single Malt from Scotland's Speyside can be a bit awe-inspiring, especially considering that you might not even be as old as 40-year-old Glenfiddich himself. 4 decades is almost half a lifetime and with such an age you have to pay respect to a bottling like the Glenfiddich Whiskey 40 years. Only a strictly limited number of 600 copies of this exclusive 700 ml bottle are filled each year, which are eagerly awaited by fans of the Glenfiddich brand every year. With individual numbering on each Glenfiddich 40 bottle, you get an absolutely unique product that has a different drinking strength from year to year.

Each bottle comes in a leather-covered box, which also contains a booklet (also leather-covered) with information about the bottling and the Glenfiddich Distillery in general. A signed certificate completes the content and testifies to the 40 years of maturity observed by many employees.

Glenfiddich Whiskey 40 Years - Making, Maturation and Taste
Even after 40 years, the distillery character of Glenfiddich is not drowned out by the storage in the specially selected oak barrels. One of the most popular single malt whiskeys in the world, Glenfiddich uses wood harvested in the forests of the Ozark Mountains between Arkansas and Missouri to mature its 40-year-old Scotch.

Color:Dark mahogany.
Nose:Dried fruits stand in a bond with dark chocolate, which combines with freshly roasted coffee and black cherries to create a wonderful melange. Burnt wood, polished leather and fine cloves are added to the nose.
Palate:Luxurious is probably the right term to describe this silky single malt. Dried fruit (dates and raisins) alongside fruitcake and stewed apple open up a tone of oak and dark chocolate surrounded by hints of peat.
Finish:Exceptionally long and of complex structure. You won't soon forget this single malt from Glenfiddich.
