Description
Glenfiddich 22 Year Old Gran Cortes Single Malt Whisky
In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William Grant set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work, it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer.
William’s passion, determination and pioneering spirit continues to guide us today. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and is now the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a true reflection of our founder’s innovative nature, passed down through the generations.
This Glenfiddich Gran Cortes XXII is a brand new, innovative single malt from the world famous Glenfiddich distillery that has arrived just in time for Christmas. The recently released whisky follows on from the epic Grand Cru 23 Year Old, and it does so in real style.
Finished in rare Spanish Palo Cortado Sherry Casks, it brings a wealth of rich and fruity notes to the table, all backed up by a delicate, perfectly balanced array of spices. Aromas of dates, dark chocolate and raisins make way for sweet oak, vanilla and marzipan on the palate, before citrus fruits, fruitcake and gentle cinnamon make themselves known on the finish.
Released specifically for the Asian market, this one is difficult to find online and quantities are highly limited, so act fast to get your hands on a bottle.
   Nose:   Sherry, stewed fruit, toffee, honey, berries, and spices.
   Taste:   Very sweet on the palate, accompanied by vanilla, floral, raisins, and ripe fruit notes.
   Finish:   Soft, but very long finish, with hints of milk chocolate with lots of sherry and oak.
