Glenfiddich is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, owned and produced by William Grant & Sons in Dufftown, Scotland. Glenfiddich means 'Valley of the Deer' in Scottish Gaelic, hence the presence of a stag symbol on Glenfiddich bottles. The Glenfiddich Distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, in the glen of the River Fiddich.
In the 1950s, the Grant family built up an on site infrastructure that included coppersmiths to maintain the copper stills, and a dedicated cooperage that is now one of the very few remaining in distilleries.
In 1960, W. Grant & Sons introduced an advertising campaign and marketing strategy to establish single malt scotch as a premium brand, effectively creating the modern single malt whisky category.
The distillery uses distinctively-shaped copper pot stills that are handmade and smaller than those used by other distilleries. All are handmade and Glenfiddich employs a team of permanent craftsmen to maintain them. Glenfiddich is currently managed by the fifth generation of William Grant's descendants.
