Last month the great people at Glenfiddich chose their new selection of vintage reserves. The selection process this year began with one of the industry’s most experienced Malt Masters, David Stewart, choosing a shortlist of six casks, three from 1975 and three from 1977. Then an illustrious international selection panel consisting of Erkin Touzmohametov (Russia), Walter Schobert (Germany), Gavin Smith (UK) and Jimmy Bradley (USA) joined David in choosing one to be bottled.
As you can see the casks have aged quite nicely over the years:
The chosen cask, number 4414, was a European sherry oak cask and was filled with new-make Glenfiddich spirit and laid down in 1977.
More information about the event can be found at the Glenfiddich blog
Once the Vintage Reserve has been bottled Glenfiddich’s Ambassadors will be organising personal one-on-one tasting sessions in the following months.
