Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix / Bot.2010 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix / Bot.2010 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky – A Rare Story in Every Pour

Discover a remarkable chapter in Glenfiddich history with the Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix / Bot.2010 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Created as a special one-off bottling, this whisky combines an unusual origin story, generous strength, and the trusted character of one of Speyside’s best-known distilleries. For collectors and whisky fans alike, it offers an exciting opportunity to enjoy something distinctive without paying the price often associated with older, highly limited releases.

Each bottle holds 70cl of single malt whisky bottled at a robust 47.6% ABV. That higher strength gives the whisky extra presence while still allowing its Speyside character to shine. It is a bottle made for those who enjoy a fuller, more expressive dram and for anyone looking to add a conversation-starting release to their cabinet.

A Unique Whisky Born from an Extraordinary Event

The Snow Phoenix story began in Speyside during the harsh winter of 2010. On 7 January, the roofs of several Glenfiddich warehouses collapsed beneath hundreds of tonnes of snow. Rather than letting the event define a loss, the distillery turned the situation into an opportunity to create something truly special. The whisky was selected from casks stored in the affected warehouses, resulting in a limited release with a genuine connection to the place and moment in which it was made.

This is more than a standard distillery bottling. It is a tangible piece of Glenfiddich history, presented in a bottle that captures the resilience and creativity behind the release. The unusual background makes it a natural choice for whisky lovers who appreciate provenance and stories as much as flavour.

Rich Cask Influence and Full-Flavoured Character

Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix brings together whisky matured in both ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. This combination creates a balanced profile, blending soft sweetness with deeper, richer notes. The bourbon casks contribute smooth vanilla and gentle oak, while the Oloroso casks add layers of dried fruit, spice, and warmth.

• Appearance: Warm golden amber with an inviting glow.
• Aroma: Sweet malt, oak, vanilla, dried fruit, and a touch of baking spice.
• Palate: Smooth yet powerful, with rich fruit, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and gentle spice.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering sweetness and a satisfying touch of sherry influence.

The whisky is drawn from casks aged between 13 and 30 years, creating a layered and mature character. This range of ages adds depth without making the whisky feel overly heavy. Every sip offers something different, making it enjoyable for relaxed evening tasting, special occasions, or sharing with friends who appreciate a well-crafted single malt.

Exceptional Character at an Appealing Value

Rare whisky does not always have to mean an unreachable price. Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix offers a compelling balance of history, flavour, strength, and collectable appeal. Its one-off nature gives it added interest, while its familiar Speyside style makes it approachable for both experienced drinkers and those beginning to explore premium single malt Scotch whisky.

The 47.6% bottling strength also provides excellent flexibility. Enjoy it neat to appreciate its full character, add a few drops of water to open the aromas, or serve it over ice for a slower, more relaxed drink. A single bottle can suit different occasions, which makes it a smart and rewarding addition to a home bar.

A Standout Gift for Whisky Enthusiasts

With its unusual background and recognisable Glenfiddich name, this release makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, milestone celebrations, and festive occasions. It is also an excellent choice for collectors seeking bottles with a memorable story rather than a routine expression. The Snow Phoenix name alone is sure to spark curiosity when the bottle is opened or displayed.
