Look what's just risen from the ashes!

Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix 2010 


A very rare and collectable Limited Edition of Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix  Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Snow Phoenix ” Risen from the Great Warehouse Collapse of 2010″
TWICE A WINTER’S WORTH OF SNOW…
In 2010, twice a normal winter’s worth of snow fell on the Glenfiddich warehouse roofs in just a few weeks.
In the most remote part of the Distillery this snow now equivilent  to the weight of a herd of elephants, collapsed and damaged several roofs.
The bright winter sky poured in, and standing amongst precious casks, The  Malt Master Brian Kinsman was inspired to mark this moment in history.
Selecting and marrying the finest Oloroso and American oak casks from warehouses struck by this heavy snow,   Snow Phoenix was created.

Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix Single Malt Whisky Tasting Notes :-

Creamy and vibrant on the nose, with honey and chocolate on the palate. And sherry notes mellowing into a long finish.
Created by chance, crafted by their  expert.
Colour; Gold with bright copper highlights.
Nose: Creamy vanilla mixes with vibrant apple and pear, complemented by soft blossom.
Taste: Wild flavours – apples roasted in campfire embers, sweetened with heather honey and accompanied by a little chocolate. Rich and complex with a trace of burned sugar, coffee and wood smoke.
Finish: Exceptionally long. Austere sherry notes mellow into satisfying sweetness.
