About this bottle
The Dynasty decanter was created to commemorate the last seven independent monarchs of the ancient Kingdom of Scotland. They were all distinguished members of the illustrious Royal House of Stuart and their remarkable story is briefly told in the page of the booklet that comes with this wonderful decanter.
The Dynasty decanter was also created to celebrate the evolution of Scotch whisky distilling during the 200 years spanned by these seven Stuart monarchs. Scotch whisky - Scotland's premier product, now acclaimed throughout the world is represented in the Dynasty decanter by a 40 year old single malt from the renowned Glenfiddich Distillery. Distilled in September of 1964, the whisky has been left to mature for 40 long years in a 1st fill Sherry Hogshead. It was then in September 2005 that Hart Brothers took this Sherry cask (No.10794) and bottled it at cask strength and without any chill filtration nor artificial colouring, with only 500 individually numbered decanters ever produced.

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.
