Product details
Glenfiddich's Grand Château is an exceptional 31-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky that exemplifies the distillery's innovative spirit and dedication to craftsmanship. This limited edition release is notably the first from Glenfiddich to undergo an extended nine-year finishing period in Bordeaux red wine casks, following its initial maturation in American oak. This unique cask combination enriches the whisky with remarkable depth and complexity, offering an unexpected fusion of Speyside and French wine heritage. The collaboration with internationally acclaimed French graffiti artist André Saraiva adds an artistic dimension to this release, with his signature 'Mr. A' character playfully adorning the packaging, reflecting the harmonious blend of traditional whisky-making and contemporary art.
On the nose, Grand Château envelops the senses with warm vanilla, evolving into fruity and floral nuances of ripe cassis berries, accompanied by subtle nutty aromas. The palate is indulgent and rich, featuring flavors of caramelized cherries and apples intertwined with warming spices and toasted oak. The finish is enduring, leaving a lasting impression of depth and character. This opulent whisky pairs exquisitely with a variety of culinary delights, such as roasted duck with a cherry glaze, aged Gouda cheese, or dark chocolate truffles, each complementing and enhancing the whisky's complex flavor profile.
