Glenfiddich 29 Years Grand Yozakura Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scottish mastery meets Japanese artistry in a single, extraordinary whisky?

Glenfiddich 29 Years Grand Yozakura represents a groundbreaking fusion in single malt craftsmanship. This limited edition Speyside whisky is the first Glenfiddich expression to feature an Awamori rice spirit cask finish, creating an unprecedented flavor profile that bridges two whisky cultures. After 29 years in American and European oak, six months in rare Okinawan Awamori casks transforms this exceptional dram into something truly unique. Collectors seeking similar premium aged expressions might also appreciate The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt or explore Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside Single Malt for regional comparison.

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found the Awamori finish creates an extraordinary herbal zing that lifts the traditional Speyside character. The Japanese influence adds silky tannins and spice bursts that complement rather than overpower the Scottish foundation.

Pairs with: Rich Malaysian dishes like beef rendang or char siu, where the whisky’s spice notes complement bold flavors.
