Glenfiddich has unveiled a limited single cask release to mark its partnership with The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The Glenfiddich 14-Year-Old Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2026 Edition will be available exclusively through Royal Mile Whiskies from August 2026.
The whisky is drawn from a single first-fill bourbon cask. Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman personally selected the cask. Bottled at natural cask strength of 61% ABV, the release is limited to just 230 bottles.
According to the official notes from the brand, sweet American oak delivers vanilla, caramel and toasted spice. These are balanced by the distillery’s hallmark orchard fruit flavors of pear and baked apple. On the palate, honeyed malt and toffee richness give way to warming oak spice and a long finish.
