Product details
Glenfiddich 40 is a rare expression shaped by decades of maturation and inspired by the layered strata of a rocky valley, where time, wind, and rain gradually create depth and character. Its distinctive profile comes from Glenfiddich’s remnant vatting approach, in which the Malt Master carries part of one batch forward and combines it with carefully selected casks for each successive release. This continuous process preserves a connection between generations of production while allowing layers of character to build over time, resulting in a remarkably deep and complex 40-year expression.
The nose reveals layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and ripe black cherries, complemented by notes of polished leather and cloves. On the palate, it is full and luxuriously smooth, unfolding from deep dried fruit into rich fruitcake, dates, raisins, and stewed apples, followed by dry oak nuances with hints of bitter chocolate and peat. The finish is complex, memorable, and exceptionally long-lasting, leaving a deeply layered impression that reflects the character developed through time.
