✨ Technical Specifications
Glenfiddich, meaning 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, was founded in 1887 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland. This legendary Speyside single malt is crafted using the pristine waters of the Robbie Dhu spring. Distilled in uniquely shaped copper pot stills that have remained unchanged since the distillery's inception, the spirit is traditionally matured in a combination of American oak (bourbon) and European oak (Oloroso sherry) casks. This meticulous aging process in Glenfiddich's historic stone warehouses imparts its signature smooth, sweet, and fruit-forward character, defined by notes of fresh pear, subtle oak, and delicate malt.
