Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera 20cl Description

The 15 Year Old expression is a truly special single malt that exemplifies the family's tradition of innovation. Its warm, spicy flavours are created using a technique pioneered by the Malt Master, David Stewart, and continued to this day.

Aged for at least 15 years in a combination of European, American, and New American oak to carefully release the virgin cask flavours, the whisky is then mellowed in a unique Solera vat before being married in Portuguese oak tuns.

Knowledge Bar

The Solera system is unique to Glenfiddich in the Scotch whisky world and uses an idea borrowed from Spanish sherry-makers.

The Glenfiddich Solera Vat holds around 37,000 litres and has been kept at least half full since it was built and filled with 15 year old Glenfiddich in 1998. As 15 year old Glenfiddich whisky is always used to refill the vat, the whisky is allowed to be given a "15 year old" age statement. But, since the vat has never been emptied, a little of every batch that has ever been in the vat remains behind, mixing with the next batch and creating an award-winning whisky that has much greater depth and character than its 15 years might suggest.
