Glenfiddich 22 Year Old Gran Cortes Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the rarest expression in the Glenfiddich Grand Series, finished in exceptionally scarce Palo Cortado sherry casks that account for less than 0.167% of all sherry produced, resulting in a rich mahogany whisky bursting with complexity and depth. The nose is intensely layered with dark chocolate, raisins, dates, and spiced honey-poached fig, while the palate delivers sumptuous notes of sticky date pudding, sweet vanilla, marzipan, and stewed fruits, all balanced by oak and gentle baking spices. The finish is long, warming, and creamy, with lingering hazelnut chocolate, fruitcake, and subtle citrus, showcasing both the elegance of Speyside and the opulence of Spanish sherry cask maturation. Highly awarded—including the 2023 International Spirits Challenge trophy for Best Distillers Single Malt 21 Years and Over—Gran Cortes is a luxurious, collectible whisky that stands out for its rarity, sumptuous sherry influence, and unforgettable character.
