Only 286 bottles of Glenfiddich Anniversary
Vintage to be released
JAKARTA, 22 January 2014 - Glenfiddich, the World’s Most Awarded single malt Scotch whisky, unveils the Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage, an exclusive 25 Year Old expression. With only 286 bottles to be released, Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage is one of the rarest and finest examples of Glenfiddich’s malt making expertise.
Distilled
on Christmas Day 1987, as part of the single malt’s centenary celebrations,
this special release marks 125 years of pioneering whisky making at The
Glenfiddich Distillery. It was selected on Christmas Day 2012, the distillery’s
125th anniversary, by its founder William Grant’s great-great grandson, Peter
Gordon and his son, Dougal.
All
286 bottles of Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage were taken from just one cask,
selected by Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman and William Grant’s
descendants. Brian Kinsman said: “The whisky’s unusually high ABV of 55.2%
signifies the uniqueness of this precious, cask-strength liquid. It is a true
connoisseur’s choice and with a host of evocative flavours and subtle aromas it
marks another milestone in our pioneering history.”
Decorated
in rustic copper and a rich blue with a beautiful case, the presentation and
packaging of each of these individually numbered bottles reflects Glenfiddich’s
rich history.
Glenfiddich
Anniversary Vintage boasts complex and sensuous flavours that have been allowed
to develop and mellow in oak casks for a quarter of a century. Rich fruit cake,
toasted almonds and cinnamon flavours flourish on the nose, underpinned by a
zesty citrus note enveloped in vanilla sweetness, allowing hints of hints of
liquorice, leather and ground coffee. On the tongue it takes on a beautiful
velvety texture, rich and spicy with a sweet sherbety flavour. The depth of oak
tannin creates an intriguing balance of sweet and dry with a luxurious mouth
coating oiliness, which is decadently succeeded by a long-lasting, sweet, oaky
finish.
5
specially numbered bottles of the Glenfiddich Anniversary Vintage will retail
for a minimum of USD1,168 and will be available in Indonesia from 22nd January
2014 in a silent auction bid. The auction bid will last until January 31 at http://glenfiddichanniversaryvintage.com/id/.
