After more than two decades in American and European oak at the family-owned distillery in Dufftown, the whisky spends up to two years in cognac casks, and it is bottled at 43.8% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrande Couronne, French for great crown, brings together Scotland's most famous single malt house and the cognac traditions of France. The cognac casks lend the long-aged Glenfiddich a toasty, oaky sweetness and a character Glenfiddich likens to French patisserie: baked orchard fruit, tarte tatin and poached pear, with café crème, brown sugar and soft spice on a velvety palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenfiddich has been run by the same family since William Grant founded it in 1887, and its special editions explore what happens when its fruity Speyside spirit meets unusual casks. Grande Couronne is one of the most opulent of them. The bottle's gold-printed label, decorated with the Glenfiddich stag and an ornate crown pattern, is matched by a green and gold presentation case, making it a superb choice for a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasty, oaky sweetness with French patisserie notes: baked orchard fruit, tarte tatin, poached pear, pastry and cream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Velvety and sweet, with café crème, brown sugar, honey and soft spice, then a hint of muscat grape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and creamy, with polished oak and lingering cognac fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenfiddich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grande Couronne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87.6 proof (43.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e American and European oak, finished for up to two years in French cognac casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass and allow it a few minutes to open; the pastry and orchard fruit grow richer with air.
