Glenfiddich Vino Formosa Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky “Spirit of Taiwan” is the product of a collaboration between James Chan, Glenfiddich’s Brand Ambassador (Taiwan), and winemaker Dr. Chen Chien-hao. Limited to only 301 bottles worldwide. “Vino Formosa (Moscato Oro Vino Fortificato, NV)” is a fortified wine made from Taiwan’s golden muscat grapes; the winemaking process is similar to the one of making Madeira. This is the first time casks used for ageing wine in Taiwan are used for finishing Scotch whisky in Scotland. The highly anticipated expression has already attracted attention as collectors in Europe have already been waiting for the pre-order. By releasing Glenfiddich Vino Formosa Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky “Spirit of Taiwan,” Glenfiddich has again proved its leadership in the single malt Scotch whisky market with the innovative move. Matured in American oak for approximately 24 years this Glendiddich is rich in vanilla, oaky sweetness. The final 2 years of maturation in a Vino Formosa cask has lifted the fruitiness to a new level. Tasting Notes~ Colour: Rich Gold Nose: Rich and robust oakiness with an intense fruity character. The ripe apple and pear notes have been intensified during the maturation in a Vino Formosa cask resulting in hints of tropical fruits intertwined with subtle spices and sweet vanilla. Taste: Beautifully sweet with a silky smooth and mellow palate. The balance of rich fruits and oak delivers a long lasting journey of flavour. Finis: Very long lasting with a lingering fruity sweetness. Award~ International Spirits Challenge 2018 – Gold Medal International Wine & Spirit Competition 2018 – Gold Medal |
