Glenfiddich steps into new territory

William Grant distillery Glenfiddich has released a 14YO Glenfiddich Rich Oak single malt Scotch whisky (RRP£30.99) that has been finished in virgin American and European oak casks. Malt master, Brian Kinsman, says the unique process has given rise to a whisky of “exceptional quality and flavour”.
To celebrate the association with virgin European wood, Glenfiddich is planning to plant a Glenfiddich Oak Forest. Chairman, Peter Gordon, will plant the first sapling in March, ahead of a grand opening in November.
