In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer.
William’s passion, determination and pioneering spirit continues to guide us today. Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and is now the World's Most Awarded Single Malt* Scotch Whisky, a true reflection of our founder’s innovative nature, passed down through the generations.
William Grant fulfils a lifelong ambition and starts building his own distillery with the help of his nine children and a single stone mason. He names it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer. After a year of hard work the first drop of spirit falls from our copper stills on Christmas Day 1887.
Prohibition is in full swing. William’s grandson Grant Gordon joins the family firm, surprises the industry and increases whisky production. As the decade and the law turns, we are one of only six distilleries still operating in Scotland. Ready to meet a new surge in demand for fine, aged whiskies.
Charles Gordon, William's great grand son, insists on having coppersmiths onsite at the Distillery. They are rare and skilled craftsmen, always on hand to build and tend to our uniquely shaped and sized copper stills.
Soon after coppersmiths are brought onsite, Gordon Grant builds up a dedicated cooperage. Never underestimating the importance of casks in developing exceptional whiskies, our onsite cooperage is one of the few that remain in distilleries today.
Water, yeast and malted barley. A trinity expertly crafted to make a Glenfiddich whisky. It inspires influential 20th century designer Hans Schleger to create a radical design of the time, our triangular bottle.
Sandy Grant Gordon, great grandson of William, is so proud of our single malt that he makes Glenfiddich the first to be actively promoted outside Scotland. Consumers around the world used to drinking blended whisky, are initiated to the delights of single malt. Until then a well-kept secret of the Scots.
A special time at our Distillery. We celebrate our 100 year anniversary with a centenary bottling commemorating our founder and his dream to create ‘the best dram in the valley’.
One of the most collectable and rare whiskies is released. The first ever vatting of our 50 year old. Married to perfection from nine casks laid down in the 1930s, we honour each of William Grant's children who helped to build our family distillery.
Proceeds from the auction benefit the youth action fund, which has been created by the distillers’ charity focusing on supporting disadvantaged young people in Scotland, transforming their life chances and empowering them to create positive change in their lives and communities.

Supple but very complex. A great composition on the nose with still a lot of fresh and dried fruit left with floral notes. Plenty of wood spices and cedar wood. Vanilla and cocoa powder makes this impression more complex. Great aged notes of exotic fruits, toffee apples and cinnamon with a light elegant but very complex and pronounced flavour and finish.
