Product description

The series includes Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 years old finished in French cuvée casks, Glenfiddich Grand Reserva 21 years old finished in Caribbean rum casks and the latest addition, Glenfiddich Grande Couronne 26 years old. The latter, vatting of Glenfiddich malt aged in European and American oak casks, was finished in rare cognac casks for two years.
