- Description
- This 18-year Glenfiddich comes from before 2007, representing an earlier iteration of the distillery's house style—likely softer and less uniformly controlled than modern bottlings. Packaged in a limited-edition decanter, it belongs to the realm of collectors' pieces as much as for drinking. Age and rarity make this suitable for those building a vertical of Glenfiddich or seeking discontinued bottlings.
