The Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix American Oak & Oloroso Sherry is a limited edition whisky with an impressive strength of 47.6% ABV and a volume of 700ml. This exceptional bottle was inspired by an extraordinary event in January 2010, when several Glenfiddich distillery roofs collapsed under the weight of heavy snow and record low temperatures. This incident led to the creation of Snow Phoenix, a unique whisky crafted by marrying together non-chill filtered casks of varying ages and finishes, including American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. This whisky commemorates a significant moment in the storied history of Glenfiddich Distillery, which was founded in 1886 by William Grant and remains owned by his descendants. Glenfiddich has played a pivotal role in the history of Scotch whisky, being the first distillery to commercialize its own official bottlings of single malt whisky in the early 1960s, a move that has shaped the industry to this day. As a result, Glenfiddich has maintained its position as the world's best-selling single malt whisky. The Snow Phoenix whisky is presented in a tin featuring an illustration of the collapsed warehouse roofs after the heavy snowfall. Although it is a no age statement (NAS) bottling, the whisky is sourced from casks aged between 13 and 30 years. The Malt Master carefully selected and married the finest Oloroso and American oak casks from warehouses affected by the heavy snow to create this exceptional whisky.
