Tradition meets rebellion in these new single malt scotch whiskies
Glenfiddich, the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky, recently launched a range of single malts that are designed to elevate occasions and celebratory moments in new ways. The Glenfiddich Grand Series—the Gran Reserva, Grand Cru, and Grande Couronne—are each imbued with intriguing finishes that promise pleasure with every sip.
Mellowed for 21 years in meticulously selected American and European oak casks and finished for six months in Caribbean Rum casks, the Gran Reserva builds to a crescendo of sweet toffee and spicy exotic warmth. Encased in a vibrant, deep amber packaging and reminiscent of the warm hues of beach sunsets complete with Caribbean-inspired illustrations, it is a blend of tradition and rebellion.
Meanwhile, the Grand Cru is matured for 23 years in hand-selected oak casks and finished in rare French cuvée casks for six months—the first and only Glenfiddich expression to be finished in such a manner. Corked in a bottle of black glass embellished with gold foil, its lavish exterior offers hints of indulgence. The Grand Cru exudes elegance on the nose while bringing sophisticated richness to the palate—an impeccable accessory for any social event of the season.
Glenfiddich’s top shelf bottle, the Grande Couronne, is aged for 26 years before receiving an extended finish of up to two years in rare French cognac casks, painstakingly sourced in limited quantities. With layers of sweet toasted oak and velvety aromas, the Grande Couronne is the piece de resistance of the Glenfiddich Grand Series. Secured with a 26-sided gold closure and adorned with gold filigree, each bottle is nestled in packaging that is embellished with fresco artwork.
“At Glenfiddich, we believe that grand occasions deserve grand celebrations. Combining a time-honored vision with the maverick spirit and determination to blaze new trails, the Glenfiddich Grand Series is a celebration of the extraordinary. From unexpected cask finishes of Caribbean rum to French cuvée and cognac casks, the Grand Series showcases our ability to experiment with aged liquid and intriguing finishes, bringing together luxury and traditional worlds in an unexpected marriage and elevating ordinary occasions to offer a true taste of opulence.” shared Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich, Brett Bayly.
