Speyside

This 15 year old Glenfiddich malt whisky is matured to perfection in three different oak barrels. Sherry casks and traditional bourbon barrels and barrels of new oak. After that, the whiskey is transferred in a large wooden barrel of 32.000 liters, the so-called Solera barrel, that is always at least half full. This ensures a constant quality of the whiskey. The process ends with a short maturation period in smaller Solera barrels, so the whisky merges into perfectly balanced whisky, the so-called marriage.
