Glenfiddich Grand Cru: Whisky meets champagne barrel
Glenfiddich Grand Cru: Whisky meets champagne barrel
After 23 years of ageing in American and European oak barrels, the second ageing in French cuvée barrels gives the Glenfiddich Grrand Cru additional complexity and refinement. The combination of these two worlds has created a whisky that is – thanks to its freshness – accessible to a wider public. Why not break conventions and toast with this whisky in a Coupe glass to celebrate a success or combine it with a delicious meal? Combined with steak or tartar it tastes especially good as we think.Tasting of the new Glenfiddich Grand Cru
Looking at the glass, you will face a harmonious dark gold, whilst the taste the freshness – thanks to the French barrel – is clearly recognizable. Tasting reveals aromas such as apple blossoms, lemons, sweet brioche, pear sorbet or white grapes, while the finish is long-lasting and sweet. We can’t wait to pair the Glenfiddich Grand Cru with a cigar!Exclusive launch at the Swiss Deluxe Hotels

Golf equipment included – the advantages of the Swiss Traveller Card
Every golfer knows it: You get used to your clubs and want to play with them – rental sets or other golf clubs are rather not an option. So if you want to play the many incredibly beautiful courses in the world, you have to take your golf equipment with you.
