Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection 18 Years VAT 04 Speyside Single [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scottish craftsmanship meets centuries-old Spanish solera tradition in a single bottle?

The Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection 18 Years VAT 04 represents a revolutionary approach to whisky maturation that breaks conventional aging rules. This Speyside single malt employs a perpetual solera system where the vat is never completely emptied—only half is bottled before refilling, ensuring each drop contains liquid from the original batch. Compare this innovative technique to traditional expressions like the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside or explore premium alternatives such as The Dalmore 21 Years Highland.
