Distilled and matured at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, this 23 Year Old forms part of the distillery's prestigious Grand Series, a collection that represents the upper tier of the Glenfiddich range. Founded in 1887 by William Grant and still family owned today, Glenfiddich brings over a century of Speyside craft to each expression in the series. The Grand Cru is among the most refined of these, combining an extended maturation with a finishing cask of considerable distinction.
Twenty-three years of maturation in American and European oak casks establishes a deep and well-integrated character before the whisky is transferred to rare French cuvée casks for its finishing period. These casks, associated with some of the finest sparkling wine production in France, introduce a delicate brightness and an elegant structural lift that sets this expression apart from more conventional Speyside releases. Presented in a striking black and gold bottle befitting its position within the Grand Series, the Grand Cru is a compelling choice for the collector and an exceptional gift for occasions that warrant something genuinely special.
Tasting Note by Glenfiddich:Nose: Apple blossom, freshly baked bread and candied lemon.Palate: Layers of rich vanilla oak, sweet brioche, sandalwood, pear sorbet and white grape.Finish: Long, opulent and sweet.
Distilled and matured at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, at the heart of Speyside, this 21 year old expression represents one of the most distinctive releases in the distillery's core range. Founded in 1887 by William Grant, Glenfiddich remains family owned and is one of the most celebrated single malt producers in Scotland. Two decades of patient maturation in traditional oak casks allows the distillery's signature character to develop fully before Malt Master Brian Kinsman hand selects individual barrels for the final stage.
Those selected casks are transferred into Caribbean reserva rum casks for a finishing period that introduces a layer of tropical warmth and spice to the established Speyside foundation. The result is a whisky of considerable complexity, balancing the restrained richness of a long Speyside maturation with the more animated character that rum cask finishing imparts. At 40% ABV, it is approachable without sacrificing depth, and presents exceptionally well as a gift or a considered addition to a maturing collection.
Tasting Note by Glenfiddich:Nose: Intense and vanilla sweet. Floral, hints of banana, figs, rich toffee, new leather and oak.Palate: Initially soft, then brisk, vibrant and drying, peppery, a touch of smoke, oak, lime, ginger and spices.Finish: Very long, warming, dry and spicy.
The Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Argentinian Malbec Cask Finish is the result of a remarkable collaboration between Malt Master Stephanie Macleod and award-winning winemaker Daniel Pi of Finca Ambrosia, one of Argentina's most prestigious estates. Having travelled to the Uco Valley in Argentina, Stephanie personally selected Malbec casks from Finca Ambrosia to bring an entirely new dimension to the Aberfeldy character — a partnership between two masters of their craft that has produced something genuinely distinctive within the distillery's wine cask series.
Aberfeldy Distillery was established in 1898 in Perthshire, drawing process water from the gold-laced Pitilie Burn and producing a fruity, richly honeyed Highland single malt in alembic copper pot stills crafted by Forsyths. Here, 21 years of patient maturation have been completed by a finishing period in Malbec wine casks, which lend vivid red fruit character, gentle floral notes and a subtle tartness that sits in elegant balance with the distillery's signature honeyed sweetness. Bottled at 46% ABV, this limited edition release is as well suited to the collector as it is to the enthusiast seeking something beyond the expected.
Tasting Note by Aberfeldy: Evolving aromas of juicy strawberries glazed with sweet Highland honey, gently brightened by hints of fresh blackcurrant. This bouquet gives way to delicate floral notes of rose and violet, underscored by a subtle touch of warming cinnamon spice. On the palate, vibrant fruit flavours come alive, gracefully melting into creamy vanilla and concluding with a wonderfully smooth, lingering finish.

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown, Speyside, The Balvenie has long been defined by its commitment to traditional craftsmanship and the mastery of wood. The distillery maintains its own floor maltings, cooperage and coppersmith team, and its succession of Malt Masters has built a body of work that places cask management at the very centre of the whisky making process. It was Honorary Ambassador and former Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE who first developed the technique of wood finishing in 1982, a practice now widely used across the industry but originating here on the Balvenie Estate.
First released in 1996 and considered by many to be David C. Stewart's finest creation, the PortWood 21 Year Old brings together a marriage of rare Balvenie whiskies that have been matured for over two decades in traditional American oak whisky casks before being transferred to port pipes, the large casks used to age fine port wines. The port cask finishing stage is sampled regularly by the Malt Master to ensure the right degree of character is imparted, enhancing and developing the spirit whilst preserving the depth and complexity built over twenty-one years. The result is a single malt of genuine refinement, recognised by an array of industry awards since its launch. An outstanding collector's expression and a gift of real distinction for a milestone occasion.

Founded in 1892 by William Grant adjacent to the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, The Balvenie remains one of the few distilleries in Scotland to maintain all five of the traditional crafts in-house: it grows a proportion of its own barley, operates its own floor maltings, employs a team of coopers, maintains a team of coppersmiths, and keeps a dedicated team of skilled distillers. That commitment to craft is not a marketing position but an operational reality, and it informs the character of every expression the distillery produces.
The Balvenie Thirty is a rare marriage of Traditional oak and European oak casks, each matured for decades before being united by Honorary Ambassador and former Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, whose career at the distillery spans more than half a century.

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown at the heart of Speyside, The Balvenie is one of Scotland's most craft-committed distilleries, operating its own floor maltings, cooperage and coppersmith team on site. The distillery's approach to whisky making places the marriage of individual casks at the very centre of its philosophy, a discipline that demands patience, skill and an exceptional depth of sensory knowledge.

Stewart MBE, whose career at The Balvenie spans more than half a century, has elevated the art of the tun marriage to a level few in the industry can match.
The Balvenie Twenty-Five brings together individual casks of American oak and European oak matured for a quarter of a century before being married by David C.
