Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh apple, orange peel, Christmas spice, tarte tatin, poached pear, sweet pastry and cream — the Cognac cask influence is immediate

Palate

Caramel, brown sugar, clover honey, orange blossom, milk chocolate, baked apple — impossibly smooth with mild nuttiness, the 26 years creating silk

Finish

Long and floral — the Cognac cask really shining through, adding a French patisserie elegance that younger expressions cannot match

Expert Review

8.5/10

'Grande Couronne' means 'great crown' in French. Part of Glenfiddich's Grand Series. 26 years in bourbon and sherry casks, finished up to 2 years in French Cognac casks. Limited to 10,000 bottles. The Cognac finish adds a patisserie-like richness — tarte tatin and poached pear — to Glenfiddich's signature orchard fruit character. Drinkhacker: A-.
