Glengoyne leave their finest sherry casks almost entirely to their own devices for 30 years. Almost, but not quite. Twice, perhaps three times in three decades, the malt master will taste this ongoing alchemy of cask and spirit. His aim: to hand-select only the best sherry oak casks.Aromas are rich and enticing; iced cinnamon rolls, orange boiled sweets, fresh sweet oak with raisins and the faint hint of mint. A silky texture on the palate coats the mouth with banana, berry jam, malt biscuit and classic sherry oak depth. pleasantly long and balanced with ground spice, dried fruit and soft scottish tablet finally unveiling the merest wisp of peat smoke.

Time is often believed to be an irrefutable force. The seconds, minutes, hours fleeting figures of a clockface, slipping steadily away. But in the hands of a maverick, time stands still. This is something our malt master understands implicitly. Thirty years ago, he laid down the spirit to create an exemplary single malt. After three decades of patient maturation, the decisive moment arrived.Glenfiddich 30 is the pinnacle of this process. More than simply a superlative liquid, it is forethought, expectation, anticipation embodied. Three decades, captured. Time stilled, forever. Arrested, and arresting. An experience to savour. Thirty years of our maverick mindset, suspended in time.TASTING NOTES:Deep, woody flavours interlaced with delicate floral accents, in a complex combination.SERVING SUGGESTION:Serve neat or with a couple of drops of water (to bring out the flavours).
