Glenfiddich, known as the world's first exporter of single malt since its founding in 1887, has a long history, and this is an extremely rare clear bottle of "8 Year Old Pure Malt" produced in the 1970s. Unlike the current standard green triangular bottle, this clear glass bottle allows you to admire the beautiful golden color of the contents directly. It was a special export model supplied to duty-free shops and certain overseas markets at the time, and is spoken of as a milestone among vintage bottle enthusiasts.
The bottle is stamped "26 2/3 fl. ozs." , the old British unit of liquid volume used before the transition to the metric system in the 1980s, and its existence itself is irrefutable evidence of the brand's golden age in the 1970s. The center of the label proudly displays the "Stag" emblem, which was adopted as the brand's symbol in 1968, and the historic name "Pure Malt" is used, a name that predates the term "single malt" at the time. The cap is a short screw-on type with a ring, which was popular from the 1960s to the 1970s, capturing the manufacturing techniques and aesthetics of the time in every detail.
Glenfiddich from this era is characterised by its tropical and fruity aromas , which are difficult to replicate in modern bottles. Bottled at 43% ABV, the liquid has attained a silky smoothness through nearly half a century of bottle aging, perfectly balancing the inherent elegance of Speyside malt with its mellow richness. The original cylindrical tube case that comes with it has maintained its unchanged design since the time of its creation, preserving this historical heritage to this day. The sparkling liquid swaying through the clear bottle truly speaks to the overwhelming dignity of the "origin of single malt", making this a supreme collectible piece that allows you to savor a luxurious moment while immersing yourself in the weight of history.
