Glenfiddich 31 Year Grand Château Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Single Malt Scotch | 47.6% ABV | 95.2 Proof | 750mL | Speyside, Scotland | 31 Years Old | Nine-Year Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish | Limited Edition

Process & Profile

Glenfiddich 31 Year Grand Château Single Malt Scotch Whisky brings together mature Speyside whisky and an extended finish in Bordeaux red wine casks. Released as part of Glenfiddich’s Grand Series, it spends twenty-two years in American oak before a further nine years in Bordeaux casks, completing thirty-one years of maturation.

That unusually long finishing period gives the wine casks a substantial role in the whisky’s character. Vanilla and oak meet cassis, caramelized fruit, floral aromas, and warming spice, creating a rich expression that connects Glenfiddich’s distillery character with the influence of French red wine.

Grand Château marks Glenfiddich’s first release finished in Bordeaux red wine casks. Its presentation also celebrates that Scottish-French connection through a collaboration with artist André Saraiva, whose artwork appears inside the presentation box. Bottled at 47.6% ABV, this limited edition offers a distinctive choice for exploring long-aged, wine-cask-finished Scotch.

Serve Glenfiddich Grand Château neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass, allowing time between sips to explore its fruit, floral, and oak characteristics. Add a few drops of water gradually if you prefer to soften the bottling strength.

For a simple pairing, try dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or an aged hard cheese. These provide a useful accompaniment to the whisky’s rich fruit, nutty aromas, and mature oak character.
