Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Cumulative Time - Time Reimagined

About this spirit

This 40 year old is from the Time Re:Imagined series from Glenfiddich, a collection of three remarkable aged single malt whiskies; each a unique representation of the ever-changing forms of time and the pinnacle of Glenfiddich’s signature distillery style. Since the 1960s, just three Malt Masters have been at the helm, overseeing the patient development of these rare and precious casks. Several decades later, these single malts have reached the zenith of their maturity and are now ready for release. This Glenfiddich 40 Year Old encapsulates the intricacies of Cumulative Time. Matured over four decades, it has developed a richness and depth of flavour that is rarely encountered. To craft such an intricately layered whisky, 40 Year Old is produced by a process known as ‘remnant vatting’ in which our Malt Master carries one batch over, time and time again, before marrying it with the casks selected for subsequent release. Cask after cask and season after season, the whiskies rest, imbuing the spirit with the memories of past releases and years gone by, delivering 40 layers of exquisite flavour accumulated over time. Glenfiddich is the only distillery that uses such a pioneering process, and it is because of this maverick spirit we achieve the apex of whisky-making. Glenfiddich 40 Year Old is so much more than an exemplary single malt, it is time, age, and experience accumulated. The nose is a deeply layered expression of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and ripe black cherries. Completed with subtle waves of gentle wood smoke, polished leather and cloves. It comes with a luxuriously full and silky smooth taste, with memories of past releases in every nuanced note. Evolving from deep dried fruit notes to rich fruitcake, dates, raisins and stewed apples, before giving way to dry oaky notes, with subtle hints of bitter chocolate and peat.
