Glenfiddich 50 Years Old TIME SERIES 2020 43,8% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The Glenfiddich 50 Years is produced in the traditional way.
It is the same method that was used when the distillery opened in 1887.
The whisky is a blend of three different refillable American oak casks. All these casks are matured in the same warehouse.
The maturation for the first cask began in 1966, and the maturation of the two other casks in 1968.
Here, careful selection is not to be omitted. When the barrels were stored, it was not known which ones would live for 50 years.
A constant control of the volume, alcohol content and quality of the barrels was necessary to determine whether they were suitable for another year of aging.

Thousands of barrels were tested to see if they could withstand these conditions, but only three were suitable.

Only when the whisky reached 21 years of age was it deemed worthy of further maturation.
In 2018, the whiskey from the three casks was blended together and filled into American refill casks, and in 2020 they were finally bottled.

The constant control of the casks was divided between Hamish Robertson (1960–1974), David Stewart (1974–2008) and Brian Kinsman (2008 to present).

Not only the whisky is unique, but also the packaging.
Climate data from the last 50 years was collected from the exact location where the whisky was matured.
Data artist Manuel Jiménez Garcia used this data to create a 3D structure. Air pressure, temperature and humidity were measured.
A special algorithm is developed for this physical design language, which was used to build the mold from aluminum.

This 50-year bottling is part of the Time Series range and is a true rarity.
