GLENFIDDICH 31 years Grand Château
The 6th edition of the Glenfiddich Grand Series is a limited edition that surprisingly combines two worlds, each renowned for its exceptional expertise and prestigious heritage. Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich's cellar master, wanted to capture in this cuvée the magical moment when the French terroir, which he is particularly fond of, meets and sublimates the Scottish terroir. The result is an exceptional whisky, the oldest in the Grand Series collection, combining excellence and humility.
This whisky begins its maturation for 22 years in Bourbon casks, before being finished for 9 years in rare Bordeaux wine casks. For this limited edition Grand Château, Brian Kinsman has chosen a 47.6% bottling, the highest alcohol level in the Grand Series collection.

The steep-sided valley where the Fiddich River flows, gave its name to the best-selling malt in the world.
The distillery is located on the banks of the river in Dufftown. Fiddich translates as “stag” from Gaelic and here’s why the animal is now the emblem of the distillery. This famous distillery has been established in 1886 and is still in the hands of the same family (as a limited company). In 1963, the company bet on spreading the Single Malt outside the borders of Scotland – which was considered as pure folly by blended scotch producers, deeming Single Malts as too intense, too richly aromatic or too complex for non-Scots drinkers. Glenfiddich remained traditional and is still heating its small stills with coal and ageing spirit in casks. The whiskies, aged in different woods, are blended in the Glenfiddich cellars, and bottled “at the chateau”! In fact, the distillery overlooks the complete bottling process. Glenfiddich is proud to own the most rewarded Single malt whisky range in the world.
