Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old is a small-batch Speyside classic, matured in a blend of Oloroso sherry and American oak casks before an intense marrying period in batches of no more than 150 casks. Expect deep orchard fruit, rich dried fruits and elegant oak — a poised, gift-worthy single malt crafted with generations of expertise.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Ripe orchard fruit and baked apple on the nose with robust oak. The palate layers luxurious dried fruit, candy peel and dates over silky malt and polished oak. A warming, distinguished finish lingers with spice and refined sweetness.

Craftsmanship & Story

Family-owned since 1886, Glenfiddich marries 18-year-old whiskies from Oloroso and American oak in carefully monitored small batches (≤150 casks) to achieve remarkable consistency and depth. The result is a richly textured Speyside malt that balances fruit, sherry richness and dignified oak.

Special Features

Dual-cask maturation (sherry & bourbon) delivers fruitcake richness and honeyed depth; small-batch marrying amplifies harmony and polish. A luxurious, dependable Speyside for collectors and discerning gifters alike.
