"For the special release, we wanted to select a whisky embodying the quintessential Glenfiddich character: traditionally smooth and rich in fruity and ester sweetness, drawn from the 49 years spent cocooned in the walls of a refill sherry butt," said Brian Kinsman, master blender at Glenfiddich. Collaborating with the team at Gleneagles, we've crafted a truly exceptional whisky that not only commemorates their celebration but also encapsulates the timeless essence and railway heritage of Glenfiddich.
Inside, the Gleneagles x Glenfiddich Centenary Reserve is textbook Glenfiddich. Aged in a single refill sherry butt for just shy of half a century, the whisky offers the smoothness for which the Speyside distillery is famed, with rich, syrupy notes of vanilla leading into long-lasting beeswax and honey.
Each bottle is presented in a handmade display cabinet by Glasgow-based artist John Galvin. Inspired by the Art Deco era in which Gleneagles was first born, the ornate cases are crafted from burr walnut and feature bespoke stained glass detailing.
In total, just 15 are available, with each numbered. And what will one of those bottles set you back? No less than £35,000 (approx. $45,800).
