Glenfiddich Scotch
Add one of the most recognisable names in whisky to your collection with a bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch from our range at The Whisky World. The world-famous brand was founded in 1886 in the Speyside region of Scotland and was one of the first Scottish distilleries to sing the praises of its product overseas. Single malt Scotch was a very proud secret for some time, but the great-grandson of the founder saw fit to promote Glenfiddich across the pond, and word quickly spread. Taste for yourself why Glenfiddich became a household name with a bottle today.
Best Glenfiddich Scotch for beginners
Choosing Glenfiddich as your starting point is a fantastic way to introduce your palate to the wonderful world of Scotch whisky. Not only are you sampling the work of a world-famous distillery, but you’re also choosing a very approachable spirit that’s kind to new tasters. Here are a few recommendations for first-time triers:
-
Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old - Accessible in both price and flavour, Glenfiddich’s 12-year-old bottles offer a light, exceptionally smooth taste with sweet hints of pear and apple, making it the perfect Scotch starting point.
-
Glenfiddich 14-Year-Old - If you’ve been a bourbon lover for some time and you’re searching for a drink that helps you bridge the gap across the Atlantic, then this is the perfect choice. This variety is aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in charred new American oak.
-
Glenfiddich 15-Year-Old - The choice for those whose budget is slightly more flexible. The 15-year-old is matured in a mix of bourbon, sherry and new oak, resulting in a spirit with a slightly heavier body without an outright smoky profile.
What makes Glenfiddich appealing to collectors?
Glenfiddich’s historical significance in Scotch whisky cannot be overstated, which explains why the distillery is so popular among collectors. As one of the few remaining family-owned Scottish distilleries, Glenfiddich represents a bygone era of Scottish whisky production and the values that are associated with it. The distillery remaining in family hands allows for exceptional releases, such as the 50-Year-Old. Only 50 bottles of this age are released each year, sparking a scramble among collectors everywhere to get their hands on them and display them as the jewel of their drinks cabinet.
