Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT 01 Speyside Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

What happens when time itself becomes the master distiller, creating layers of complexity that evolve with each passing year?

The Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT 01 represents a revolutionary approach to whisky making through its unique Solera vat system. This Speyside single malt employs a continuous blending process where the vat is never fully emptied, allowing older spirits to mentor younger ones in an endless cycle of maturation. Unlike traditional single malts such as the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside, this expression benefits from bourbon, American Oak, European Oak, and red wine cask influences that create an ever-evolving flavor profile.
