GLENFIDDICH 64 YEAR OLD
- Special limited edition.
On the year of King George VI’s coronation, cask number 843 began its long journey. “It is very much the exception to have a cask of this age that has kept it’s strength, unsurprisingly it is woody and bronze in colour for a Glenfiddich,” Glenfiddich master distiller David Stewart had said at the time of its release. “Cask 843 has the characteristically intense nose of a very old single malt whisky and is best enjoyed without the addition of water.” It’s been hard to have a cask of this age that has kept it’s strength, and it is this property that makes the 64-year-old Glenfiddich edition so special. This is the oldest and rarest bottling ever made at the distillery.
Cask 843 was filled with spirit from the stills at The Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown and laid down in a dark, damp dunnage warehouse to mature and develop. It was discovered to be an unusually slow-maturing whisky and over its life ten consecutive warehouse masters patiently watched over cask 843 and frequently nosed and tasted the whisky, noting its development. After 64 years, in October 2001, Glenfiddich’s Malt Master David Stewart declared that cask 843 was finally ready to be bottled. Just 61 bottles were left in the cask. Each bottle is bottled at a concentration of 44.0% ABV, with a volume of 700ml.
- Rich fragrance.
Unlike other wines, although aged over many years, Glenfiddich 1937 did not evaporate significantly. This is one of the oldest and most delicious whiskeys in the world. Glenfiddich has rich pear aroma and rich aroma along with a trace of skin and roasted coffee. A bottle of 1937 The Glenfiddich Rare Collection sold at auction for a record-breaking price, making it the highest price paid for a bottle of Glenfiddich.
