Launched in
time for the Spirit of Speyside
Festival, the Glenfiddich Archive
Collection 1987 will be available from
the Glenfiddich distillery shop from
tomorrow 29th April.
 Launching
in time for one of the region’s biggest
calendar dates of the year, the
Glenfiddich Archive Collection 1987 will
be available to pre-order exclusively
from the Distillery Boutique in the
brand’s home from tomorrow 29th of
April, during the Spirit of Speyside
Whisky Festival. It has been bottled at
53.7% ABV and has a RRP of £3,700.
With only 75 bottles available, this
bottling is the rarest of the trio that
make up The Archive Collection, an
annual release comprising rare family
casks which unlock a moment from the
distillery’s warehouses in Dufftown to
share some of the finest whiskies
created. The 1987 is a Christmas
centenary cask laid down on Christmas
day by the Grant family to celebrate the
distillery's 1st Centenary milestone,
which over it’s 35 years of maturation
has developed notes of ripe pear, Granny
Smith apples and delicate spun sugar, a
perfect balance of fresh, sticky and
spiced.
While the world has changed almost
beyond imagination during this time,
this whisky has been quietly maturing,
ageing and taking on the unique
qualities of their oak casks and the
exceptional climate of the ‘Valley of
the Deer’. Accessing the Glenfiddich
Archive Collection is comparable to
accessing the archive of Single Malt. It
is tasting and experiencing the vision
of William and Elizabeth Grant and the
generations of the Grant family that
followed; unlocking the history of
Single Malt.
Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master
said: "The Archive Collection seamlessly
bridges the gap between Glenfiddich’s
spirit of innovation and its rich
history, bearing witness to the heritage
of craftsmanship, pioneering spirit, and
the passing on of knowledge and
experience.
"Available to pre-order in the same week
as the world-renowned Spirit of Speyside
Whisky Festival, we are thrilled to give
our distillery visitors exclusive access
to the rarest bottling from the
collection, a chance to own and enjoy a
piece of Glenfiddich’s rich history."
In addition to Glenfiddich Archive
Collection 1987, Glenfiddich Archive
Collection 1973 will be exclusively
available to purchase in the UK from
September and Glenfiddich Archive
Collection 1984 exclusively available in
China and Taiwan from June.
