Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT 02 Rich & Dark 100cl

Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT 02 – Rich & Dark is part of an innovative series that embraces the solera aging method. Unlike traditional bottlings, these whiskies are continually married in large VATS, allowing complexity and consistency to grow with every release. VAT 02 is crafted to highlight rich, dark flavours, thanks to maturation in Oloroso sherry and European oak casks. It's an expression for those who enjoy elegant intensity, merging Glenfiddich’s smooth style with deep spice and warm fruit notes. Available exclusively in 1-litre bottles through travel retail.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Full and enticing: dried figs, stewed plums, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a hint of clove.

Palate

Creamy and rich. Notes of caramel, raisins, cinnamon, sherry influence, and a touch of black coffee. Silky mouthfeel.

Finish

Long and warming. Dark fruits, cocoa, oak, and a gently spiced, slightly dry finish.

Glenfiddich Distillery

Glenfiddich Distillery is located in Dufftown, in Scotland's iconic Speyside region. Founded in 1887 by William Grant, Glenfiddich is one of the few distilleries that has remained in family ownership since its inception. The distillery is located on the banks of the River Fiddich, whose name means "Valley of the Deer", symbolising its rich natural environment.

A unique feature of Glenfiddich is the use of spring water from the Robbie Dhu springs, which contributes to the purity and character of their whiskies. Glenfiddich is known for its innovative approach and was one of the first distilleries to export their single malt whisky worldwide.

Glenfiddich whiskies are known for their elegant and accessible flavour profiles, with notes of pear, apple and honey. The whiskies are matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, creating a rich and complex flavour. The combination of a beautiful location, innovative techniques and high-quality production makes Glenfiddich a global leader in the single malt whisky industry.

Glenfiddich was founded in 1887 by William Grant in Dufftown, in the heart of Speyside. Together with his wife Elizabeth, seven sons and two daughters, he built the distillery largely by hand. The first spirit flowed from its copper stills on Christmas Day that year. The name Glenfiddich means ‘Valley of the Deer’ in Gaelic, reflected in the distillery’s famous emblem.

The distillery remains owned by the Grant family. During the 1960s, Glenfiddich was among the first producers to actively introduce single malt Scotch whisky beyond Scotland. Its distinctive triangular bottle and international promotion helped transform single malt from a relatively small category into a worldwide phenomenon.

Glenfiddich is known for an approachable, fruity Speyside style, with pear, apple, honey, vanilla and gentle oak. The quality of its spirit allows both vibrant younger whiskies and long-matured expressions to flourish. With a broad range and a strong tradition of experimenting with cask maturation, Glenfiddich combines family heritage with continuous innovation.
