History[edit | edit source]
The Glenfiddich Distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant, who had learned his craft at Mortlach Distillery. The distillery was built with the help of Grant's seven sons and two daughters.

Production[edit | edit source]
Glenfiddich Distillery uses a single source of natural spring water from the nearby Robbie Dhu springs. The distillery has 32 stills, making it one of the largest in Scotland. The whisky is matured in oak casks, including sherry, bourbon and new oak, which gives Glenfiddich its unique flavour profile.
