Glenfiddich 26 Year Old Grande Couronne Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

WE92
Meaning Crown in French, Grande Couronne is the crowning glory to your celebrations. After ageing for 26 years at our distillery, it is refined and elegant. But it’s crowning glory awaits. An extended finish in rare French cognac casks adds extra lavish layers of sweet tasted oak and velvety aromas of café crème, brown sugar and soft spice. This is single malt ascended. The Grand Series perfectly encapsulates Glenfiddich’s spirit of innovation and our ability to experiment with aged liquid and intriguing finishes. Grande Couronne is the latest to exemplify that approach. It is the only Glenfiddich single malt that has matured in American and European oak casks and finished in rare French Cognac casks. The length of the finish, two years, is highly unusual and adds extra layers of sweet toasted oak and velvety aromas of café crème, brown sugar and soft spice. COLOUR: Deep gold. NOSE: Apple blossom, freshly baked bread and candied lemon. TASTE: Layers of rich vanilla oak, sweet brioche, sandalwood, pear sorbet and white grape. FINISH: Long, opulent and sweet.

Wine Enthusiast

"This single malt Scotch finished in ex-Cognac casks opens with bold vanilla and citrus aromas and a relatively dry, spicy palate. Cinnamon and allspice open the first sips. Adding water brings more oak forward, along with drying hints of chamomile and cigar wrapper. The brisk, warming finish unfurls campfire smoke, dark chocolate and a tinge of coconut."
