Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva Single Malt Whisky

Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Gran Reserva is a luxurious Speyside single malt, matured patiently for over two decades before being finished in Caribbean rum casks. This rare process infuses the whisky with layers of exotic spice, rich toffee, and warming fruit. Complex yet elegant, it transforms every sip into an indulgent experience, making it a standout in Glenfiddich’s acclaimed range.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, rich vanilla and floral sweetness mingle with banana, figs, toffee, and oak. The palate opens soft, then vibrant, with ginger, lime, leather, and warming spice balanced by a touch of smoke. The finish is long, dry, and warming, with lingering notes of pepper, oak, and sweet caramelised fruit.
