About
The world's best-selling single malt Scotch whisky, founded by William Grant in 1886 and still family-owned. The name means 'Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic. Glenfiddich pioneered the single malt category by marketing directly to consumers in the 1960s when blends dominated. 31 stills make it one of Speyside's largest operations. Famous for its triangular bottle design.
