Nestled in the valley of the River Fiddich, meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, Glenfiddich was founded in 1886 by William Grant and his nine children, who hand-built the distillery stone by stone. This exceptionally rare single malt was bottled in 2020 exclusively for the annual Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, celebrating the rich distilling heritage of Scotland's most famous whisky region. Drawn from a single refill Sherry butt (Cask No. 25427), this expression beautifully balances the distillery's signature bright orchard-fruit and pear character with the subtle, oxidative depth of seasoned European oak. The use of a refill cask ensures the wood complements rather than dominates, allowing complex notes of soft baking spices, toasted nuts, and delicate honeyed malt to shine through.

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.
