Introduction to Glenfiddich

In this lesson, we introduce you to the exciting world of Glenfiddich Single Malt Whisky!

The Glenfiddich Distillery was founded in Dufftown by William Grant in 1866. Built in the glen of the river Fiddich, the first Glenfiddich single malt ran from the stills on Christmas day in 1887.
A long family tradition followed through the generations, with Glenfiddich one of the few distilleries in Scotland to increase production during the era of prohibition in the USA.
During the tough economic times of the 60โ€™s and 70โ€™s, Glenfiddich and its famous triangular bottle was instrumental in marketing โ€œSingle Maltโ€ as the premium Scotch offering, leading to the establishment of the Single Malt category we know today.
Glenfiddich remains to this day a family run business, with current management the 5th generation descendants of Mr William Grant himself.
