This vibrant single malt scotch whisky is matured for 12 years in American and European Oak Sherry casks before finishing in Amontillado casks for a distinctively rich and refined depth of flavor.
Made with extraordinary care and attention, each Glenfiddich Single Malt is a work of perfection. Ranging from our signature 12-Year-Old expression to rare, vintage and Limited-Edition bottles, our whisky is renowned worldwide for its quality and consistency.
Amontillado is a specific sherry type from the Spanish sherry region of Jerez that is characterized as being darker than Fino and lighter than Oloroso. Amontillado is one of the four major dry sherries but still displays sweet notes like hazelnut and caramel. Amontillado sherry casks produced for the whisky industry are known to be extremely rare, representing only 1.8% of all sherry produced.
