Description
Here’s a rare piece of Glenfiddich royalty, a revered liquid that represents the first time Glenfiddich single malt has being matured in American and European oak casks and finished in rare French Cognac casks for two years. The length of the finish is quite unusual and adds extra layers of sweet toasted oak and velvety aromas of café crème, brown sugar and soft spice
Meaning ‘Crown’ in French, Grande Couronne is the embodiment of opulence, the crowning jewel of the entire Grande Series which also includes the Gran Reserva 21-year-old Rum cask finish, the Gran Cortez 22-year-old sherry cask finish, and the Grand Cru 23-year-old Cuvee.
Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman comments:
“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”
The majority of these bottles were made available for on premise (bars) around Australia and we’ve now received a small allocation for our virtual shelves too. Limited quantities available!
Investment Grade Whisky!
Official tasting notes:
Nose: Vibrant and lively with an abundance of toasty oak sweetness. Reminiscent of a French patisserie, freshly-baked Tarte Tatin and buttery choux pastry.
Palate: Deep, velvety smooth and indulgently sweet. Café crème with soft brown sugar and a hint of spice.
Finish: Very long-lasting sweet oak.
