Glenfiddich — the benchmark 18-year Speyside single malt, matured in a combination of Spanish sherry oak and American bourbon oak casks before being married and bottled in small batches at the William Grant \u0026amp; Sons distillery in Dufftown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenfiddich's small batch approach at 18 years assembles a limited number of casks at a time rather than mass-vatting — ensuring each batch reflects the specific character of those particular casks rather than averaging out over thousands of barrels. The combination of sherry and bourbon cask maturation produces the house style: honey, dried fruit, oak, and the gentle floral quality that defines Speyside single malt at its most approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, butterscotch, oak spice, light sherry, vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich toffee, fig, walnut, mellow oak, subtle smoke\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, toasted oak and dried fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenfiddich, Dufftown, Speyside, Scotland (est. 1886)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Small Batch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spanish sherry oak + American bourbon oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/glenfiddich\"\u003eGlenfiddich at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the small batch approach at Glenfiddich?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than mass-vatting thousands of casks, Glenfiddich assembles a limited number at a time for the 18 Year — ensuring each batch reflects the character of specific casks rather than averaging across a large inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does the 18 Year compare to the 21 Year also in the collection?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18 Year uses sherry and bourbon cask maturation for a richer, more fruit-forward profile.
