Gran Cortes XXII is the follow up to Glenfiddich's Grand Cru, a 23 Year Old malt finished in cuvée casks. This new addition is a wonderfully sherried malt that perfectly complements the Glenfiddich Speyside flavor profile.

The name of this expression means grand palaces, in celebration of Spanish royal courts, since it has been matured in specially selected Andalucian Palo Cortado sherry casks. It is exclusively available to customers in China and Taiwan.

Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsmanselected the casks himself: “We researched age-old processes, testing finishing times and maturations to find the perfect composition of character, depth and aroma. After careful experimentation, we found our match.

“The 22-year-old Glenfiddich malts from our old-age collection were finished in Palo Cortado oak casks. The alchemy that takes place in the oak casks pushes the boundaries once again. The finished product is a truly unique whisky with a dark red hue and distinctive character. It’s an unforgettable spirit to mark the most special occasions.”

Gran Cortes XXII was released in 2020 in a 70cl bottle at 44,3% abv
