Glenfiddich, in homage to the early intrepid Portuguese voyagers who went on to change our understanding of the new world, has created their first ever 19 year old single malt Scotch whisky.
Finished in fine, aged Madeira wine casks from an independent island winery dating back to 1850.
The Age Of Discovery is presented in an exclusive black glass bottle bearing a red cartouche compass. Presented in a beautiful gift box that maps out the routes of those first Portuguese adventurers.
“An earthy, bright whisky with a warmth that fades to long sweetness with an incredible rich depth”
NOSE : Deep earthy aromas of sweet ripe fig and orange marmalade create a backdrop to bright notes –fresh gooseberry and grapes ripening on the vine.
TASTE : Rich, spicy cinnamon and crushed black pepper rest on a deep earthy base. Caramelised fruits, crystallised ginger, raisins and hints of dry oak unravel. A satisfying, silky smooth, almost oily texture.
FINISH : Dry with warmth that fades into sweet marmalade notes.
