Time is often believed to be an irrefutable force. The seconds, minutes, hours fleeting figures of a clockface, slipping steadily away. But in the hands of a maverick, time stands still. This is something Glenfiddich's malt master understands implicitly. Thirty years ago, he laid down the spirit to create an exemplary single malt. After Three decades of patient maturation, the decisive moment arrived. Glenfiddich 30 Year Old is the pinnacle of this process. More than simply a superlative liquid, it is forethought, expectation, anticipation embodied. Three decades, captures. Time stilled, forever. Arrested and arresting. An experience to savor. Thirty years of Glenfiddich's maverick mindset, suspended in time.
Matured in both American and European oak barrels and held in a contemporary glass bottle that is adorned by their iconic stag in platinum, paying homage to the original ‘tround’ design created in 1956 by Modernist designer Hans Schleger. The design evokes the image of moving ribbons, each one frozen in time to form elegant cut-out windows, revealing the regal decanter inside. The design’s dynamic lines and complex structure create the illusion that the bottle is suspended, effortlessly, in mid-air.
