It used to be that Single Malt was only enjoyed straight or in ‘traditional’ Scotch cocktails like a Blood and Sand, “ says Glenfiddich Ambassador Jennifer Wren, “but these days, with Single Malts being appreciated in so many different contexts and by so many different people, you can find bartenders offering wonderfully light Scotch drinks like spritzes or shrubs. The delicate, fruitier notes of Glenfiddich 14 play very well when paired with sparkling wine, juices, or fresh herbs and the extra oakiness gives the cocktail a little kick – it’a perfect option for a lawn party!
About Glenfiddich
Glenfiddich – the world’s Most Awarded and best-selling Single Malt Scotch whisky – is run by the fifth generation of the Grant-Gordon family and is one of the last remaining family-owned and operated distillers. From dream to dram, the Glenfiddich journey began in 1886 when founder, William Grant, realized his dream of creating the ‘best dram in the valley’ in Dufftown, Scotland. Equipped with distilling expertise, gained after working 20 years at the Mortlach distillery, Grant purchased the necessary tools for the job and he found his premises in the beautiful nearby field of Glenfiddich, Gaelic for ‘valley of the deer’ that also included a pure water source provided by the Robbie Dhu Spring, a vital ingredient in the production of quality whisky. The Glenfiddich distillery was born on Christmas Day 1887, when spirit first flowed from the Glenfiddich stills. The combination of crystal clear water from the spring, home-grown barley, pure Highland air and the unusually small size of the stills, produced an unrivalled single malt Scotch whisky.
Today Glenfiddich continues to be a progressive spirit in challenging malt whisky conventions while also staying true to legacy, by keeping traditional production techniques established by founder, William Grant. The Glenfiddich core range includes: Glenfiddich 12 Year Old (SRP: $39.99), Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon Barrel Reserve (SRP: $49.99),Glenfiddich 15 Year Old (SRP: $59.99), Glenfiddich 18 Year Old (SRP: $99.99), Glenfiddich 21 Year Old (SRP: $179.99) and Glenfiddich 26 Year Old (SRP: $ 499.99).
