The story behind the bottle…
On the evening of January 7th, after weeks of heavy snow and low temperatures, four feet of compacted snow covered the Glenfiddich distillery roofs, which housed hundreds of casks of fine aged whisky.
A number of warehouse roofs collapsed under the weight, leaving the oak casks exposed to the winter sky. In temperatures of -19°C, distillery staff worked to clear the snow.
Snow Phoenix was created by marrying together whiskies from the damaged warehouses, natural strength and non-chill filtered casks of different ages and finishes, including American oak and Oloroso sherry.
Given the name Snow Phoenix, this cask strength limited edition release will only be bottled in 2010.

My local liquor store (in New York City) got me a bottle of this through is his connections in the UK. This a very good Whisky with a great story and presentation (it comes in a nicely designed metal box with a pamphlet about the history of it included). A special dram to get your hands on.
