Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection 15 Years VAT 03 Speyside Single [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that pushes the boundaries of traditional whisky-making with innovative maturation techniques?

The Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT 03 represents a groundbreaking approach to single malt craftsmanship, utilizing a pioneering Solera vat system that has been continuously active since 1998. This 15-year expression combines whiskies matured in European oak sherry casks and ex-bourbon barrels, creating layers of complexity that build with each generation. Unlike traditional single malts such as the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside or Mortlach 12 Years expressions, this innovative vatting process ensures no two bottles are exactly alike.

**Technical Specifications:**
