Glenfiddich Sherry Cask 12 Year

Glenfiddich unveiled a special edition expression within its Core Range: Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish, a single malt matured in traditional American and European Oak casks before finishing in rare Amontillado Sherry casks.

The Amontillado Sherry cask finishing marks a first for the distillery and its competitors.

The launch of this new expression permanently fills a flavor gap in the Glenfiddich Core Range as the first sherry-forward single malt, joining 12-Year-Old Original, 14-Year-Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve, 15-Year-Old Solera, and 18-Year-Old Small Batch.

Matured for 12 years in traditional American and European Oak casks before finishing in rare Amontillado sherry casks, the all-new liquid provides a distinctive taste.  Amontillado is a specific sherry type from the Spanish sherry region of Jerez that is characterized as being darker than Fino and lighter than Oloroso.

Amontillado is considered to be one of the four major dry sherries but still displays sweet notes like hazelnut and caramel. Amontillado sherry casks produced for the whisky industry are known to be extremely rare, representing only 1.8% of all sherry produced.
