Released in 2012 to commemorate 125 years since founder William Grant first ran spirit from the copper stills on Christmas Day in 1887, the Glenfiddich 125th Anniversary Edition is a liquid monument to Speyside history. Malt Master Brian Kinsman crafted this unique expression to replicate the historical style of Glenfiddich's early days. Unlike the distillery's modern, fruit-forward unpeated style, this release incorporates a unusually high proportion of peated malt, mirroring the 19th-century Speyside practice of using local peat for kilning due to coal scarcity. Matured in a combination of Spanish Sherry butts and American oak bourbon casks, it delivers a complex marriage of rich dried fruits, vanilla, and oak spices, all enveloped in a gentle, warming cloak of peat smoke that harks back to the Victorian era.

Established in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, Glenfiddich is one of the world's most famous and pioneering single malt Scotch whisky distilleries, still proudly family-owned by William Grant & Sons. Nestled in the heart of Speyside, the distillery utilizes the pristine waters of the Robbie Dhu spring and traditional, uniquely shaped copper pot stills to craft its signature spirit. Glenfiddich is celebrated for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, maintaining an on-site cooperage and maturing its spirit in fine oak casks. This dedication yields an iconic, fruit-forward, and complex range of single malts, from their classic expressions to highly coveted, decades-old vintage reserves.
