Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Years Old (Pre 2007)

Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve, with its pre-2007 label, represents a pivotal moment in the distillery's history and innovation in Scotch whisky production. This expression showcases Glenfiddich's pioneering spirit, being one of the first to introduce the Solera process to whisky making. The Solera system, traditionally used in the production of sherry and other fortified wines, was adapted by Glenfiddich to create a whisky of remarkable consistency and depth. The Solera process at Glenfiddich involves a large Oregon pine vat, never less than half full, where whiskies aged in sherry, bourbon, and new oak casks are married together. As whisky is drawn from the vat for bottling, it's replenished with new 15-year-old spirit, ensuring a continuity of flavor across batches. This pre-2007 bottling is particularly noteworthy, as it represents an earlier iteration of this groundbreaking approach, capturing a slice of whisky history. The Solera Reserve stands as a testament to Glenfiddich's commitment to innovation while honoring traditional craftsmanship.
