Glenfiddich, a renowned name in the whisky industry, has announced the release of the second annual edition from its prestigious Archive Collection. This release, the 1990 American Oak Hogshead, is available exclusively through global travel retail in partnership with Gebr. Heinemann.

The Archive Collection features ten of Glenfiddich’s finest and rarest whiskies from the last fifty years, each showcasing the distillery’s rich heritage and craftsmanship. These single casks have been carefully selected by generations of the Grant family, tracing the journey of Glenfiddich’s whisky-making legacy.

Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master, expressed his excitement about the release: “A window into the true heart and character of Glenfiddich, this American Oak Hogshead cask has been silent in its slumber for the past half century, allowing layers of flavor to build and nuances teased out as they are nurtured along their journey of maturation, and are now being awakened for the very first time to allow a taste of unrepeatable character.”

The Archive Collection is a tribute to Glenfiddich’s core values and dedication to quality. Claudia Falcone, Global Brand Director of Glenfiddich, highlighted the significance of the collection: “The Archive Collection is a true testament to Glenfiddich’s family values, direction and ownership – granting us the opportunity to release our rarest and finest casks, looking ahead at the decades to come and continuing to build and strengthen our legacy. This special addition to our portfolio presents us with the opportunity to unlock the rich and storied history of Glenfiddich.”
