Glenfiddich 1999 Single Hudson Cask #136 / Spirit of Speyside 2016 - One of 36
An incredibly rare bottling from the 2016 Spirit of Speyside Festival.
Glenfiddich was an early advocate of the single malt Scotch category, and their faith is rewarded today by being one of the best-selling Scotch brands in the world. The distillery was built by William Grant in 1886, distilling its first spirit on Christmas day the following year. Today it is still part of the family-owned, William Grant & Sons. They became the first distillery to actively market their single malt brand in 1963, and were the first to open their facility to visitors. Glenfiddich was an important trailblazer in the whisky industry, who's contribution cannot be forgotten. The scale of their operation today is a testament to this.
This is one of three 2016 releases which were drawn from ex-Hudson rye whiskey quarter casks. Hudson is produced at William Grant & Sons' Tuthiltown Spirits distillery in New York. The company acquired the brand Hudson brand in 2010, before eventually taking over the distillery as well in 2017.
Distilled in 1999, in total there were 86 bottles released from the three casks, this bottle comes from cask #136 of which only 36 bottles were drawn.
