Glenfiddich Rare Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40 Year Old

Colour

Deep coppery-amber with rich mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent, multi-layered aroma: sun-dried figs and raisins interwoven with dark honey, vanilla and toffee. Sherry-tinged notes mingle with polished oak, orange zest, leather and almond, while cinnamon and clove add a gentle spice. A refined, age-warmed bouquet that hints at decades in exalted cask.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and deeply nuanced, the palate unfolds with dried fruit—fig, apricot and raisin—laced with plush sherry sweetness. Velvet vanilla, toffee and roasted almond mingle with toasted oak, while dark chocolate, orange zest and spice thread through the center. A long, elegant finish lingers with warm oak and perfumed spice.

Finish

Rich, time-worn finish that lingers like velvet. Dried fig and raisin give way to toasted oak and walnut, with a sherry-like fruit depth deepening into leather and cocoa. A gentle kiss of spice—cinnamon and clove—sparks warmth, while the 45.4% ABV cushions the long, refined aftertaste.
