From Glenfiddich limited Rare Collection this 2009 release has an outturn of only 600 bottles. Aged for 40 years this is a truly outstanding whisky, presented in a super high quality lockable presentation box. David Stewart (Malt Master) who has over 45 years of experience, carefully selects the casks to make a new release of Glenfiddich 40 Year Old and marries them together with what's left over from the previous Glenfiddich 40 Years Old vatting. This continues the process is known as remnant vatting, and continues whiskies that are, at the very least, 40 years old.

Glenfiddich

When William Grant built his distillery in 1886, little did he know just what he was creating. Today, Glenfiddich is the most popular single malt in the world, quite a feat for a distillery built by the bare hands of its founder and family. Producing nearly 14 million litres annually, it’s also one of the biggest and engaged in a struggle with the Glenlivet. Forward-thinking, Glenfiddich was one of the first single malts to look beyond the domestic market, the first to adopt a triangle-shaped bottle in 1957 and to welcome visitors with a centre in 1969. The site on the edge of Dufftown is sizeable, and also features the other William Grant distilleries of Balvenie and Kininvie. The scale, organisation and efficiency of the whole operation is smooth, much like the whisky and why as a brand, few can compete with Glenfiddich.
