Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Special Reserve (1998-2003) 70cl

The world’s most awarded single malt, Glenfiddich continues to raise the bar with this, their Special Reserve 12. Matured in the finest Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks prior to marrying in oak tuns, it’s well-balanced, complex and stylish.

Distillery bottlings are, as the name suggests, bottled by or for the distillery from which the whisky has originated and are thus often referred to as Official Bottlings or OBs. Distillery bottlings are generally more desirable for collectors and usually fetch higher prices at auction than independent bottlings. They are officially-endorsed versions of the whisky from a particular distillery and are therefore considered the truest expression of the distillery’s character.

This ideal of the distillery character is regarded so seriously by the distilleries and brand owners that casks of whisky that are considered to vary too far from the archetype are frequently sold on to whisky brokers and independent bottlers. When this happens, it is often with the proviso that the distillery’s name is not allowed to be used when the cask is bottled for fear of diminishing or damaging the distillery’s character and status.
