Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937
Bottle no'42 of 61. Distilled 17th July 1937. Bottled 24th October 2001
In original wooden case with key
Producer's tasting note: In 1937, cask 843 was filled with spirit from the stills at The Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown and laid down in a dark, damp dunnage warehouse to mature and develop. It was discovered to be an unusually slow-maturing whisky and over its life ten consecutive warehouse masters patiently watched over cask 843 and frequently nosed and tasted the whisky, noting its development. After 64 years, in October 2001, Glenfiddich's Malt Master David Stewart declared that cask 843 was finally ready to be bottled. Just 61 bottles were left in the cask.
Colour: Rich walnut, dark amber, antique bronze.
Nose: Huge and complex, robust oak, burnt heather. Poached pears in chocolate toffee, raisins, cinnamon & cloves. A touch of leather and then dark roast coffee.
Taste: Initial cosseting smoothness, treacle, sweet. Then cedar, oak and drying bitter chocolate notes.
Finish: Doesn't overstay. Heavy oak and sweet tobacco. Rich fruit cake. Smoky and very warming.
