According to the Speyside based distillery, this latest release continues to challenge conventions, as another unexpected marriage of two luxury worlds; a blend of Scotland and France.
Glenfiddich Grande Couronne 26 Year Old, is said to be vibrant
and lively with an abundance of toasty oak sweetness, reminiscent of a French
pâtisserie, freshly-baked Tarte Tatin and buttery choux pastry on the nose. Followed
by deep, velvety smooth and indulgently sweetness on the palate, with notes of café
crème, soft brown sugar and a hint of spice.
Commenting on the launch, Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt
Master, said: “The Grand Series perfectly encapsulates Glenfiddich’s spirit of
innovation and our ability to experiment with aged liquid and intriguing
finishes. Grande Couronne is the latest to exemplify that approach. It is the
only Glenfiddich single malt that has matured in American and European oak
casks and finished in rare French Cognac casks.”
Glenfiddich Grande Couronne 26 Year Old, is now available
from selected specialist retailers, for a RRP of £450.00.
