Product details
The Glenfiddich 1973 Private Vintage 34-Year-Old is an exceptionally rare single malt Scotch whisky that epitomizes the distillery's dedication to craftsmanship and tradition. Distilled in 1973 at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland—a family-owned establishment since 1886—it matured for 34 years in a single American oak hogshead cask (No. 28563) before being bottled in 2007. This limited release, comprising only 209 bottles, was specially produced for La Maison du Whisky in France and is presented in an elegant cherry wood box, reflecting the brand's commitment to excellence.
On the nose, this vintage offers a refreshing aroma with notes of oak and spice, complemented by hints of orange and rich fruitcake. The palate is extremely rich and well-balanced, featuring flavors of juicy orange fruitiness, milk chocolate, and a subtle interplay of spice and pepper, all harmonized with a faint peat presence. The finish is long, fruity, and spicy, leaving a lovely smooth texture that lingers. This sophisticated whisky pairs beautifully with rich desserts like sticky toffee pudding or mature cheeses such as aged cheddar, enhancing its complex flavor profile. For the discerning collector or connoisseur, the Glenfiddich 1973 Private Vintage 34-Year-Old stands as a testament to the artistry of Speyside whisky-making.
