Experience the pinnacle of whisky artistry with The Fiddichside 35 Year Old 1989, a rare and exquisite blended malt Scotch whisky bottled by the esteemed independent bottler Murray McDavid as part of their prestigious Mission Gold series. This exceptional expression pays homage to the rich heritage of Speyside whiskies, predominantly featuring malts from the iconic Glenfiddich distillery, renowned for its quality and craftsmanship. Distilled in 1989, this whisky has been meticulously matured over 35 years, undergoing a complex maturation journey that enhances its depth and character. Initially aged in traditional oak casks, it was then transferred into a combination of three Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which impart rich notes of dried fruits, nuts, and sweet spices. To elevate its sophistication, the whisky received a final finish in Pauillac wine casks from the illustrious Bordeaux region of France, adding layers of dark berries, subtle tannins, and a hint of earthy elegance.
