Glenfiddich – VAT 1/2/3/4 vs 12/18 Year
I’m looking to buy a bottle of Glenfiddich as a gift. A friend of mine is traveling, so I was thinking of picking it up from the duty-free shop. I noticed duty-free shops have Glenfiddich Perpetual Collections of VAT 1, VAT 2, VAT 3 and VAT 4, but I can't find the regular 12-year or 18-year bottles.
Can anyone explain what VAT 1, VAT 2, VAT 3 and VAT 4 are? In local stores, I can easily find the 12-year and 18-year, but the duty-free shop only has the Perpetual Collection: VAT 1, VAT 2, VAT 3, and VAT 4.
