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.

Established in 1887 by William Grant in Dufftown, Speyside, Glenfiddich remains family-owned across five generations and is widely credited with pioneering the single malt category as we know it today. The distillery's commitment to independence has never wavered, and that same self-reliance extends to every aspect of production, from the copper stills crafted and maintained on site to the patient, unhurried approach to maturation that defines the house style. At eighteen years, the spirit has spent long enough in wood to develop genuine weight and complexity whilst retaining the fresh orchard fruit character that is distinctly Glenfiddich.
The 18 Year Old is married in small batches of no more than 150 individually numbered casks, a process overseen with care to ensure extraordinary consistency across every release. The intense marrying period allows the whiskies from individual casks to fully integrate before bottling, producing a Flagship Collection expression that balances the richness of long maturation with the precision of small batch craft. A reliably distinguished gift and a natural step forward for anyone who has enjoyed the 12 or 15 Year Old expressions.

Founded in 1897 on the banks of the River Spey and revived in 2012 by Ian Macleod Distillers, Tamdhu is built on a single founding principle: the exclusive maturation of every expression in Oloroso sherry oak casks sourced directly from the cooperages and bodegas of Jerez in Spain's sherry triangle. The 12 Year Old is the clearest expression of that commitment, matured in a combination of first-fill and refill American and European oak Oloroso sherry casks to produce a rich, silky and naturally coloured Speyside single malt.
