The Glenfiddich Grand Château 31 Year Old: where Speyside heritage meets Bordeaux Grandeur.
The Glenfiddich Grand Château 31 Year Old is an opulent single malt that embodies the meeting point of time-honoured Scottish distilling and the elegance of Bordeaux’s vinicultural mastery.
Matured for over three decades in a careful balance of American and European oak, this whisky is elevated by an exceptional finishing period in rare Château wine casks from one of France’s most iconic wine regions. These casks, once home to some of the finest Premier Grand Cru red wines, lend a depth and finesse rarely seen in Scotch whisky.
On the nose, Grand Château is layered and expressive: rich orchard fruits, hints of ripe plum and fig, interwoven with soft oak and a delicate floral lift. The palate reveals velvet-smooth textures with notes of baked red fruits, spice-laced patisserie, and a subtle tannic structure that mirrors a fine Bordeaux. The finish is long, warming and luxuriously dry, leaving whispers of dark chocolate and aged wine tannins.
Each bottle is a celebration of artistry — not only in flavour but in design. The presentation is inspired by the grandeur of French châteaux, wrapped in a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic that hints at the unexpected within.
Limited in number and grand in every sense, the Glenfiddich Grand Château 31 is more than a whisky. It is a sensory journey for the discerning collector — and a bold statement of what modern Scotch can be when tradition embraces the world.
