Glenfiddich Gran Cortes XXII 22 Year Old is the second release in the Grand Series Collection, following the celebrated 23 Year Old Grand Cru, and showcases the distillery’s continued exploration of rare and expressive cask finishes. Drawn from Glenfiddich’s old-age stock and finished in exceptional Palo Cortado oak casks, this 22-year-old single malt undergoes a final transformative maturation that imparts a deep red hue and a bold, distinctive character. Bottled at 44.3% ABV, the whisky reveals rich aromas of dates, dark chocolate, and raisins, leading into a palate of oak, sweet vanilla, and marzipan, followed by citrus brightness and soft fruitcake notes. The finish is long, elegant, and gentle, with lingering milk chocolate, sherry richness, and seasoned oak. Crafted as a whisky for marking truly special occasions, Gran Cortes XXII demonstrates Glenfiddich’s mastery of cask alchemy and its willingness to push boundaries within its prestigious Grand Series, making it a memorable and refined addition to any collection.
