Glenfiddich Centenary 1887-1987 - Limited Edition - 75cl

Glenfiddich Centenary 1887–1987 (Limited Edition) is a historically significant official distillery bottling, released to mark 100 years since the first spirit ran from Glenfiddich’s stills. According to the retailer, it was specially filled on Christmas Day 1986 and released as a numbered limited edition—exactly the kind of commemorative Glenfiddich that collectors chase for its provenance, presentation, and era-specific profile.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Proper centenary commemorative release with a specific fill date and a clear historical “hook” (Christmas Day 1986 / 1887–1987).
- Numbered limited edition (12,000 bottles) from a major global single malt brand—scarce enough to be collectible, but widely recognised and very liquid in the market.
- The 75cl format and 43% strength place it firmly in that classic late-20th-century presentation style that many collectors prefer for display and nostalgia.
