William Grant
celebrates 125 years of Glenfiddich with
travel retail limited edition exclusive.
 William Grant & Sons have launched the
Glenfiddich Celebration 125th
Anniversary Edition, a new travel retail
exclusive limited edition bottling to
mark the 125th anniversary of the
Glenfiddich.
This limited edition single malt Scotch
whisky was created by Bran Kinsman, the
sixth Glenfiddich Malt master, using
whiskies made with traditional
techniques first shaped by William Grant
himself.
It is a vatting of peated and unpeated Glenfiddich, of different ages,
matured in a variety of casks - the
usual American ex-Bourbon but with a
large percentage of Spanish ex-sherry
butts which give the whisky depth
and complexity. The unusual depth and smokiness
found in this whisky are a result of the
unique peated Glenfiddich whisky in the
vatting which was matured mainly in European oak
casks.
The ultimate tribute to 125 years of
pioneering spirit at the Glenfiddich
Distillery, the 43% ABV, 70cl bottle, is presented
in a luxury gift tin with stag
embossing, accompanied by an official
certificate of authenticity, leaflet
with product story and tasting notes,
and an etched solid copper stopper.
Destined to become a collectable
expression of Glenfiddich, the
Glenfiddich Celebration 125th
Anniversary is available during this
festive season in travel retail markets
around the globe Priced around £70.
Kate Minner, Global Travel Retail Marketing Manager,
Single Malts says, "Our 125th anniversary is such a
momentous occasion that it seemed
appropriate to celebrate it especially
as Glenfiddich is now the world’s most
awarded single malt. Brian Kinsman has
created a truly outstanding liquid to
mirror the flavour of the whiskies
originally produced by our founder,
William Grant. It is beautifully
presented in a gift tin complete with
explanatory leaflet and copper stopper.
This is a true celebration pack which
will be coveted by travelling whisky
aficionados."
An unusual and very unique expression of
Glenfiddich which I think is destined to
become a very collectable Glenfiddich.
Definitely one to watch for at the
airport if you are travelling over the
festive season.
