Glenfiddich Explorers

Ambassador Vatting

By Ian

Last week our Glenfiddich ambassadors from around the world arrived at the Distillery for a conference which included a couple of days working with our Malt Master Brian Kinsman.

Although a few did not make it due to the volcanic ash we still had representation from China, Taiwan, South Africa, America, Sweden, France and the UK.

One of the highlights was an afternoon in one of our large warehouses nosing 150 samples of whisky from an arrangement of american and european oak casks.

This is an activity seldom seen or witnessed so to be part of an actual vatting that will be bottled, ( Batch 3099), made it all the more special.

The 18 year old is a vatting of 80% american oak matured whiskies and 20% european, a very classy whisky that ensures we remain the most awarded single malt whisky in the world.

below is a selction of pictures from the vatting session.
