Tasting notes
The first release in Brian Kinsman’s Malt Masters series is primarily maturated in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred to ex-sherry casks for added complexity. A warming nose with dark chocolate, vanilla, dried fruits, almond and walnut. Turmeric, ginger, fruit compotes and a delicate floral note develop with time. An assertive opening palate with mirabelle and greengage plums held together by an invigorating acidity. The sherry influence is underpinned by toffee, a pinch of salt, light tobacco and citrus fruit.

About this whisky
Glenfiddich is a renowned Scottish distillery that has been producing some of the world's finest single malt whiskies for over a century. The Malt Masters Edition is a special release that has been finished in sherry casks, giving it a unique and complex flavour profile.
The history of Glenfiddich dates back to 1886, when William Grant and his family built the distillery by hand in the heart of Speyside. Since then, the distillery has remained family-owned and has become one of the most respected names in the whisky industry.
The Malt Masters Edition is a testament to the skill and expertise of Glenfiddich's master distillers.

The result is a whisky that is both smooth and complex, with notes of dried fruit, cinnamon, and oak.
Glenfiddich is known for its commitment to traditional production methods, and the Malt Masters Edition is no exception. The distillery uses only the finest ingredients, including locally sourced barley and pure spring water from the nearby Robbie Dhu spring. The whisky is distilled in copper pot stills, which help to create a rich and full-bodied spirit.
