Glenfiddich Pure Malt 100cl - Bot. 1980's

Glenfiddich Pure Malt from the 1980s is a true time capsule. Bottled before the widespread use of the term “single malt,” this expression captures the essence of Glenfiddich’s style from a bygone era. Back then, “Pure Malt” was used to denote 100% malt whisky from a single distillery – essentially what we now call a single malt. Presented in the iconic green bottle with vintage branding, it evokes instant nostalgia. The whisky inside delivers soft elegance, floral notes, and gentle oak – a beautiful snapshot of Glenfiddich’s heritage. A rare gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

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.
