Glenfiddich
Scoops Six Gold Medals at International
Wine & Spirit Competition 2012.
 Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky
has been awarded a total of six ‘gold
outstanding’ and ‘gold’ medals in the
2012 International Wine & Spirit
Competition. In what is a special year
for Glenfiddich as it celebrates its 125
year anniversary since its founder
William Grant built the Glenfiddich
Distillery, the latest win is a tribute
to over a century of pioneering spirit
and innovation.
After blind taste assessments by a panel
of specialist judges, Glenfiddich 15
Year Old picked up the highly coveted
‘gold outstanding’ medal for its balance
of warm spice with honey and rich fruit
flavour. In addition, Glenfiddich was
also awarded gold medals for five of its
other outstanding whiskies: Glenfiddich
Malt Master’s Edition Sherry Cask,
Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix, Glenfiddich
Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask Reserve 19
Year Old and premium expressions
Glenfiddich 30 and 40 Year Old.
Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s Malt
Master, commented on the win: "We are
thrilled and proud to have been awarded
six gold medals by the IWSC. The medals
recognise the hard work of all the
craftspeople and fulfil the vision of
our founder, William Grant, who set out
to create ‘the best dram in the valley’,
125 years ago."
Founded in 1969, The International
Spirit & Wine Competition is the most
respected and influential spirits
competitions of its kind.
