23 years. French Champagne Cuve Cask Finish. Grand Cru. Glenfiddich — Speyside single malt aged 23 years and finished in rare French cuve – the large oak vessels used in Champagne production — adding the delicate, vinous character of France's most prestigious wine region to the Glenfiddich spirit base.
The Grand Cru name directly references Champagne's grand cru classification — the highest-quality village designation in France's Champagne region. The cuve casks carry the residual character of Champagne wine — stone fruit, brioche, and minerality — that transfers subtly into the 23-year Speyside base without overwhelming its core character. The result is a whisky that bridges Scottish distilling tradition and French winemaking prestige in a single expression.
