Glenfiddich Highland Still Masters Crock NAS

The photo confirms the bottle is Glenfiddich Highland Still Master’s Crock, a vintage ceramic-decanter release of Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This particular version carries no age statement, is presented in a 750 mL ceramic crock, and is labelled 101 Proof. Specialist whisky records identify the NAS 101-proof version at 57.57% ABV. It appears to date from approximately the 1970s–1980s, with auction records identifying examples as early as the 1970s. 

Food Pairing: Aged cheddar, roasted almonds, smoked ham, apple tart, shortbread or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: A powerful old-style Glenfiddich with a fruit-driven character, combining citrus and orchard fruit with barley, earthy mineral notes and a firm, warming malt character.

Nose: Fresh lemon, apple juice, gooseberry and rhubarb with barley and subtle mineral notes.

Palate: Concentrated orchard and citrus fruit with malt, earthy notes, gentle bitterness and warming spice.

Finish: Firm and lingering with citrus, malt, mineral character and drying oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a tasting glass. Given the high strength, a small amount of water can be added gradually to open the aromas and soften the palate.
