The Glenfiddich
The 1950s Collection
A single edition, one-off collection, from the last four remaining casks (amongst the oldest in the reserves) of Glenfiddich distilled in 1955, 1957, 1958 and 1959.
Each whisky bottle is presented in a Baccarat crystal decanter with a 24-carat gold neck and cask year and age engraved in gold leaf.
They are housed in a cabinet made by master craftsman Neil Stevenson, founder of N.E.J. Stevenson, Cabinet Makers By Appointment to HM The Queen. The casing is maple and mahogany with lamb nappa and goat suede for the softest natural lining, and a smoky-grey sycamore exterior, high-gloss polished for a flawless finish. It is designed to keep these precious whiskies in impeccable condition: high-precision Fischer thermometer and hygrometer to monitor the environmental conditions and a mechanism incorporated to turn the decanters twice a year to ensure the corks remain in optimum condition.
These four bottles contain 70 cl and are one of a kind.
1955
The colour is indicative of the delicate touch from the cask, which has almost simply cradled the spirit, enabling the distillery character to shine decades on; yet its paleness belies a phenomenal vibrancy. A rare touch of peat smoke is an echo from when the barley was malted on site.

1957
This whisky is as rich and resinous as its dark amber hues. The Glenfiddich DNA of fruit notes and sweetness are woven with the cask character, polished oak to soft leather. Emerging from these traditional flavours is an unusual spearmint note, a late appearance in this long maturation.

On the nose, this whisky is unmistakably reminiscent of warehouse eight, where it laid surrounded by the Solera Vat, marrying tuns and casks – the atmospheric essence of Glenfiddich. It is extraordinary on the palate: liveliness and sweetness, swinging to dryness, all in one sip.
