Product History
Glenfiddich, founded in 1887 by William Grant, has built a prestigious reputation as one of Scotland’s finest distilleries. The Perpetual Collection, including this 18-year-old VAT4, is a tribute to Glenfiddich’s rich heritage and constant pursuit of excellence. The unique maturation process takes place in large oak vats that are never emptied, allowing the whisky to develop layers of flavor over time. This practice ensures a perpetual cycle of aging, giving each batch a distinct yet consistent character.
Little-Known Facts
Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to bottle and market its whisky as single malt, helping to pioneer the popularity of this category. The Perpetual Collection follows a unique maturation technique called solera, where oak vats are never fully emptied, ensuring that every bottle of Glenfiddich 18yo VAT4 contains whisky from previous years, a signature of the collection.
