Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix 70cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: Scotland Banffshire Malt Whisky 5010327335377 Description: To create this malt whisky the finest casks were selected from the snow damaged warehouses (see below) - marrying together different ages of mature Glenfiddich - some very old. Some of these casks had previously held Oloroso sherry and others were traditional whisky casks made of American oak. Each one was specially chosen to make a unique contribution to the taste and aroma of the final whisky. This unique single malt whisky was named Snow Phoenix - a great Glenfiddich Single Malt born of chance and adversity. It is a limited edition, one of a kind and will only be bottled in 2010. The Great Warehouse Collapse of 2010: Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix commemorates a moment of drama in the long history of The Glenfiddich Distillery - Snow Phoenix. It all began in December 2009 when it started to snow - it kept snowing for several weeks. After a period of record low temperatures and alternate freezing and thawing there were four feet of densely compacted snow on the distillery roofs. On the evening of Thursday 7th January 2010, in the most remote part of the snow covered distillery, some of the warehouse roofs collapsed, ripped open by the sheer weight of snow, leaving maturing oak casks of Glenfiddich exposed to the winter sky. This incident gave birth to this limited edition bottling of Glenfiddich, Snow Phoenix - rising from the snow of January 2010.
