Glenfiddich, translating to 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Speyside. The 'Pure Single Malt' Special Reserve is a historic milestone in the spirits world, credited with popularizing single malt Scotch whisky globally during the mid-20th century. Housed in its iconic triangular bottle designed by Hans Schleger in 1957, this expression represents the classic Speyside style. It is crafted from 100% malted barley, distilled in uniquely shaped copper pot stills, and matured in a combination of American oak and European oak casks. The pristine water source, the Robbie Dhu spring, contributes to its signature clean, soft character, yielding delicate aromas of fresh pear, subtle oak, and sweet malt.
