Snow phoenix

The whisky’s creation was inspired by the collapse of several Glenfiddich distillery roofs in January 2010, following weeks of heavy snow and record low temperatures. Weighed down by four feet of densely compacted snow, the roofs collapsed and exposed hundreds of maturing oak casks to the night sky. In wintery conditions and temperatures of -19˚C, distillery staff swung into action – working round the clock to clear the snow.

We got a chance to taste these at Craft along with the 12 year and 15. Personally, I could not tell any difference. However, the event was free and I couldn't refuse that.
