Glenfiddich Distillery

It was 1887 when William Grant and his sons rolled up their sleeves and built Glenfiddich, stone by stone, right by the Fiddich Burn in Dufftown. The name, 'Valley of the Deer,' fits the place - and yes, the stag on the bottle is no accident. What’s rare these days is that it’s still the Grant family calling the shots, quietly keeping things in the family while others have moved on.Glenfiddich helped rewrite the single malt rulebook. Back in the 1960s, almost everyone was blending Scotch, but the Grants decided to go their own way and bottled their single malt for all to try. That gamble didn’t just pay off - it shook up the whisky world and made sure single malt had its own place on the shelf.Visiting Glenfiddich is more than just a tour. The visitor centre’s got stories to tell, and whether you’re new to whisky or chasing rare drams, there’s something to sip. You’ll get a peek behind the scenes in the distillery, and if you can snag a spot on the Warehouse 1 tasting, you’ll sample whisky straight from the cask - right there in the old 1887 warehouse. That’s the kind of experience whisky fans talk about for years.
