Ive just ordered 2 hand filled bottles from the distillery, yet i cant see how old they are. (I know but i needed them fast)
Ive looked around and seen some 15yo bottles on auction sites.
Anyone know the age of the ones you get now? (Hoping its not a nas).
And anyone else had one and tried it? |

is this the one you ordered ? https://shop.glenfiddich.com/special-editions/glenfiddich-the-distillery-malt
If you look at the wooden box it does say '15 Years' so it does look to have an age statement. I've been looking at this for a while, and have emailed the distillery before but with no help. |

| It will be at least 15 year old, but will only say 15 year old on the box, there is no distillation date as it is from a solera vat but all whiskies which have gone into the vat are at least 15 years old. |

That is the bottle on the link.
Im glad its from the solera vat, the 15 is the nicest of the range for me although i havènt tried a 21. Ive tried all tge distillery, rich oak etc but that 15 is still my goto whisky.
Its been bought as a gift and ive just found 2 alternatives....1 was a 15yo with personalised label....would have done. The other a choice of whisky and personalised box and copper plate. Whish id noticed the forty quid one as its not for me
Thanks for the info |

They sell it via the web site shop now.
I loved that video above, must be great to make your "own" bottle.
But hey....for that price im not doing the job for them!
The distillery looks a great place to visit from that clip.
Anyone been? |
