64 Years of Character
Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937
In 1937, the year of King George VI’s coronation, cask 843 was laid down in the dark, damp dunnage warehouse at the Glenfiddich Distillery. There it sat for 64 years, maturing and developing into a truly superb Scotch whisky.
In October 2001, the Glenfiddich Malt Master declared it an exceptional whisky. Only 61 precious bottles of this treasured spirit were ever filled and sold.
Characters Fine Dining is extremely honoured to have available one bottle of the oldest and most expensive* Scotch whisky in the world. For more information about Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937, please enquire with your server.
