Glenfiddich 50 Year Old - First Edition

This impressive release is comprised of nine casks laid down in the 1930s, one cask for each of William Grant's nine children who helped build Glenfiddich distillery into the success that it has become today. The casks, four distilled in 1937, and five in 1939, were vatted on the 4th of April 1990 into single cask #3034 and married for a further year. It was finally bottled on the 26th of July 1991.

Each bottle was signed by former Chairman Alexander Grant Gordon, who is also the great-grandson of the company's founder. The bottles originally included a certificate stating that the owner of the bottle is to be appointed as a Freeman of Glenfiddich distillery.

This famous bottling officially became the most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold at auction, selling for 99,999,999 Lira in an Italian charity auction in the early 1990's.
