✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the Valley of the Deer (Gaelic: 'Glenfiddich') in Dufftown, Speyside, this legendary single malt is the signature expression of the distillery founded by William Grant in 1887. Built by hand by Grant and his nine children, the distillery has remained family-owned for generations. The 12 Year Old is carefully matured in fine American oak ex-bourbon and European oak Oloroso sherry casks before being married in oak tuns to achieve its famously smooth, harmonious character. Characterized by its fresh pear and orchard fruit aromas, subtle oak, and delicate maltiness, it is housed in the iconic triangular bottle designed by Hans Schleger in 1957, representing the three pillars of whisky making: water, yeast, and malted barley.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1886 by William Grant and constructed by hand with the help of his family, Glenfiddich Distillery is situated in the heart of Dufftown in Scotland's renowned Speyside region. Still independently owned by William Grant & Sons, the distillery made history in 1963 by pioneering the international single malt Scotch whisky category beyond traditional blended scotch. Glenfiddich crafts its spirits using the pristine waters of the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, distilling through distinctive copper pot stills and maintaining its own on-site cooperage to oversee maturation in premium American and European oak casks. Renowned worldwide for its iconic triangular bottle, the distillery produces an acclaimed spectrum of single malts characterized by signature orchard-fruit aromas, crisp green pear, delicate floral notes, and remarkable depth in its rare vintage releases.
