29 year old Spirit of a Nation

A limited edition single malt which aged for 29 years in a single refill sherry cask. The whisky finished its maturation in an American pak ex-bourbon barrel covered with messages of support for the team. This special bottling was created by the brand in support of #TeamGlenfiddich which participated in the South Pole Allied Challenge, a 335km race to the South Pole. Walking With The Wounded helps wounded servicemen and women overcome both physical and mental injuries and return to civilian life, helping them to find long-term employment following their military careers. In addition to supporting #TeamGlenfiddich, all the profits from the sale of Spirit of a Nation are donated to Walking With The Wounded. 

 

Over the summer of 2013, an ex-bourbon cask was chosen to tour the UK, collecting handwritten messages of support for the team. The cask then returned to Warehouse 8, where we continued to add your words of support. The ex-bourbon cask added soft, sweet notes, absorbing your messages to create the Spirit of a Nation.
