Glenfiddich 18 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Rare/Collector Version)

Overview:
Glenfiddich 18 Years Old is the distinguished age‑statement expression from one of Speyside’s most iconic distilleries. While the standard version is accessible, true rare or older versions of this 18 Years are more collectible—especially those with older bottling labels, region‑specific editions, special finishes, or limited production runs.
