Description
Glenfiddich Clan House of Stewart Clans of the Highlands 70cl, 40% is an older-style Speyside single malt from Glenfiddich’s Clans of the Highlands series. Retail references for this exact 70cl, 40% version describe it as an early 1990s edition, presented in the House of Stewart clan tin, with each release containing a bottle of Special Old Reserve. Independent cataloguing also records a 700ml, 40% House of Stewart bottling in the same series.
What makes this bottle especially appealing is the way it combines familiar Glenfiddich character with stronger period presentation. The series was produced as one of 11 different clan tin designs, and older House of Stewart references for the related 75cl bottling note artwork reproduced from R.R. McIan’s The Clans of the Scottish Highlands together with a double-sided clan history insert, which helps show how presentation was central to the release concept.
Why Choose Glenfiddich Clan House of Stewart Clans of the Highlands 70cl, 40%
This bottle stands out because it offers more than a standard old Glenfiddich presentation. The House of Stewart tin gives it a clear collectible identity, while the 70cl, 40% format keeps it aligned with an approachable, classic Glenfiddich style. It is a strong choice for buyers who want vintage shelf appeal without moving away from the distillery’s recognisable Speyside profile.
Ideal For.
This bottle is ideal for Glenfiddich collectors who want a named Clans of the Highlands edition with original presentation appeal rather than a standard label-only bottling.
It is ideal for drinkers who enjoy fruit-led Speyside single malt with pear, malt sweetness, soft oak and a smooth finish rather than smoke or heavy cask influence.
It is also ideal for gifting or for adding a visually distinctive vintage Glenfiddich to a serious whisky shelf. This is an inference based on the clan tin format, discontinued style and collectible series identity.

Collector’s Note
This bottle has strong collector appeal because the Clans of the Highlands releases sit in a part of Glenfiddich’s back catalogue where presentation matters almost as much as the whisky itself. Named clan tins are more visually distinctive than standard old bottlings, and House of Stewart carries that identity clearly.
It is also appealing because the 70cl, 40% format gives collectors a separate version from the better-known 75cl House of Stewart bottlings. That makes it more interesting for buyers who track older Glenfiddich format and presentation variations. This is an inference based on the documented existence of both 700ml 40% and 75cl House of Stewart bottlings.
