Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix Single Malt Whisky
In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William Grant set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work, it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer.
William’s passion, determination and pioneering spirit continues to guide us today. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and is now the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a true reflection of our founder’s innovative nature, passed down through the generations.
The Snow Phoenix was created from both ex-bourbon & Oloroso casks aged 13-30 years old, sourced from warehouses whose rooves had collapsed on 7th January 2010 under the hundreds of tonnes of snow that had fallen in Speyside that winter. A limited edition release commemorating a moment of drama in the Distillery history.
   Nose:   Creamy vanilla mixes with vibrant apple and pear, complemented by soft blossom.
   Taste:   Wild flavours – apples roasted in campfire embers, sweetened with heather honey and accompanied by a little chocolate. Rich and complex with a trace of burned sugar, coffee and wood smoke.
   Finish:   Exceptionally long. Austere sherry notes mellow into satisfying sweetness.
