Glenfiddich, a renowned distillery in Speyside, Scotland, released the 125th Anniversary Edition Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky in 2012 to commemorate 125 years of whisky production. Established in 1886 by William Grant, Glenfiddich has played a significant role in the Scotch whisky industry, being the first to commercialize its own official bottlings of single malt whisky in the early 1960s. This groundbreaking move shaped the industry, and Glenfiddich remains the world's best-selling single malt whisky.
The Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition is a limited release, meticulously crafted by Brian Kingsman, the distillery's sixth Malt Master in 125 years. This exceptional single malt whisky boasts an unusual depth and smokiness, attributed to the marriage of peated Glenfiddich whiskies matured mainly in European oak casks. The whisky is a harmonious blend of peated and unpeated whiskies aged in a large proportion of Spanish ex-Sherry butts and American ex-bourbon casks.
This special release is beautifully presented in a display tin, accompanied by a copper stopper, a leaflet providing background on the release, and a certificate to commemorate the occasion. The whisky's unique smokiness is a nod to the early days of Glenfiddich, when barley was malted in kilns at the distillery over furnaces fuelled with dried local peat. This limited edition celebrates 125 years of pioneering spirit at Glenfiddich and is a fitting tribute to the distillery's rich history.
