Description
Glenfiddich's Classic release pioneered the double-maturation technique in Speyside, initially ageing in bourbon casks before a finishing period in sherry wood. At approximately 12 years old, this approach delivers the subtle vanilla and orchard fruit of ex-bourbon maturation complemented by the deeper dried-fruit and spice notes of sherry influence. The result is a lighter, more approachable profile than fully sherry-matured expressions. This works well as an introduction to Speyside single malts or as an everyday drinking dram.
