How Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is Made

Created at the Valley of the Deer (the meaning of 'Glenfiddich' in Gaelic), this single malt is carefully matured for at least 12 years in American oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The marriage of these casks creates the signature fresh pear notes and distinctive smoothness that Glenfiddich is famous for worldwide.

Heritage and Innovation

Since 1887, when William Grant built the distillery by hand with the help of his nine children, Glenfiddich has remained family-owned. This independence has allowed them to maintain their pioneering spirit, being the first single malt to be actively marketed outside Scotland and helping create the category we know today.
