Gifting Options

Glenfiddich 18-Year-Old

Each batch is individually numbered and closely monitored. Each has exceptional consistency and character as a result of an intense marrying period, as well as a warming, distinguished finish.

A truly exceptional single malt, the result of not only eighteen years of care and attention, but also generations of whisky-making craft and knowledge.

Grand Couronne 26-Year-Old

Grande Couronne is the pinnacle of opulence, uncorked only at the most majestic and meaningful gatherings. Its name, which means "crown" in French, foreshadows the pleasure to come.

The culmination of the night's revelry. It is refined and elegant after 26 years at The Glenfiddich Distillery. But its crowning glory is yet to come. An extra-long finish in rare French cognac casks adds lavish layers of sweet toasted oak and velvety aromas of café crème, brown sugar, and soft spice. This is a single malt that has been elevated. Celebrate the occasion.
