On a snow-white morning in January this year, seven coopers at The Glenfiddich Distillery went to work with a particularly large spring in their step. It was their privilege to assist the Malt Master, David Stewart, to select the year's Glenfiddich Vintage Reserve Scotch Whisky, and they set a new benchmark by breaking with tradition. The seven men - who have over 130 years’ experience at William Grant & Sons between them - chose a 1973 Glenfiddich single malt, matured for 33 years in second-fill Spanish sherry butts: the first time the Distillery used a malt stored in this type of wood for its Vintage Reserve. Commenting on the new vintage, David Stewart said: "I was surprised at their choice of using Glenfiddich matured in sherry butts for a vintage, but it couldn't have worked out better. The dark colour is the deepest of any Vintage Reserve release to date. The nose has rich oak notes, a subtle nuttiness and sherried sweetness that leads to a stunning sweet and spicy sensation upon taste and a warm and lingering finish. ” A total of 861 bottles have been drawn from the two casks selected. Producer For 20 years William Grant nurtured a dream to make the ‘best dram in the valley’. With the help of his family, he finally achieved that vision. In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer. William’s passion, determination and pioneering spirit continues to guide us today. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and is now the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt* Scotch Whisky, a true reflection of our founder’s innovative nature, passed down through the generations.
