Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix is a unique single malt whisky that was created under extraordinary circumstances. In January 2010, heavy snow caused the roofs of several Glenfiddich warehouses to collapse, exposing the maturing casks to the elements. The distillery decided to commemorate this event by creating a special release from the undamaged casks, resulting in a whisky that captures the spirit of resilience and innovation.
This whisky is a blend of various ages, with some casks dating back to the 1990s. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at a higher strength, which helps to preserve its natural flavors and complexity. The result is a rich and layered whisky that offers a deep and satisfying experience for both novice and experienced whisky drinkers alike.
On the nose, it presents a harmonious blend of sweet and fruity notes, complemented by hints of oak and vanilla. The palate is equally complex, with flavors of ripe fruits, creamy oak, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of balanced sweetness and subtle spice.
