After a year of hard labor, the first drop of whisky fell from the distillerys copper-pot stills on Christmas Day 1887. Today, Grants passion, determination and pioneering spirit continue to guide Glenfiddich Distillery, which is stewarded by the fifth generation of the Grant family.Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was created to honor the distillerys long, continuous line of family ownership since its founding by William Grant in 1887. Glenfiddich Age of Discovery is matured for over a quarter century exclusively in American Oak, ex-bourbon casks straight from Kentucky. The Quercus Alba wood used in these casks imparts subtle spices and vanilla notes throughout the aging process, and contributes to an overall soft and delicate whisky. Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich golden color, along with an intense nose filled with apricots, orange blossoms and floral notes reminiscent of a fresh rain. The aroma gives way to a powerful body with honey, almonds, leather and fresh oak, and leads to a delicate and complex. Glenfiddich Age of Discovery earned the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013, and was just released to the United States.(Excellence) goes a little against preconceived notions of very old whiskies, which are more often associated with flavors like chocolate and coffee, says brand ambassador Struan Grant Ralph. This is very light, and shows a lot of subtle flavors.Pick up your bottle today!

The 1963 single malt then called straight malt helped establish single malt scotch whisky as a distinct category in the United States. The bottles in this feature are produced using the same recipe and specifications as the 1963 whisky, and are labeled to pay homage to the original whisky.

Many talk about it and give us the credit for that, and its great to actually go back into our archives and see all of those elements and recreate them for a new audience now. Its really showing the pioneering that Glenfiddich was doing back in the 60s and that were continuing today.Glenfiddich The Original as a fresh and fruity aroma, with hints of oak, spices, buttered biscuits citrus and caramel on the palate.
