Glenfiddich is one of the most well known and loved distilleries in the world and is owned by William Grant & Sons. The distillery sits in the town of Dufftown in Moray in the Speyside whisky region of Scotland. Glenfiddich means ‘valley of the deer’ in Scottish Gaelic which is why the distillery logo is a stag. Founded in 1886 by William Grant who was also the founder of The Balvenie and Mortlach distilleries. The output of this distillery is over 10 million litres of spirit each year which makes this one of the largest single malt distilleries in the world in terms of output. Because of this it is nicknamed ‘the giant’. The distillery boasts 30 stills and 24 washbacks, it’s own cooperage and its own bottling hall. With 43 warehouses onsite to mature the whisky. They use maninly ex bourbon American Oak barrels to mature the whisky but also use rum casks from the Caribbean, and sherry butts from Jerez in Spain.

This is the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky. It is probably one of the world’s most well known single malt whiskies. Glenfiddich Aged 12 Years has been fully matured in the finest American Oak casks and European Oak casks. It is then mellowed in oak marrying tuns to create a sweet whisky with subtle oak flavours.
