Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Rare Collection Bottled 2000

This fantastic Glenfiddich 40 year old single malt was chosen by the Glenfiddich Malt Master, who hand selected individual casks before marrying them together with what was left over from the previous 40 Year Old vatting; a process known as remnant vatting. Glenfiddich claim to be the only distillery to use such a process.

This is one of 600 bottles in the 2000 release, bottled on 23rd October that year.

Glenfiddich was an early advocate of the single malt Scotch category, and their faith is rewarded today by being one of the best-selling Scotch brands in the world. The distillery was built by William Grant in 1886, distilling its first spirit on Christmas day the following year. Today it is still part of the family-owned, William Grant & Sons. They became the first distillery to actively market their single malt brand in 1963 and were the first to open their facility to visitors. Glenfiddich was an important trailblazer in the whisky industry, whose contribution cannot be forgotten. The scale of their operation today is a testament to this.
