Founded in 1887 by William Grant, Glenfiddich remains one of the few family-owned distilleries in Scotland. The name itself means Valley of the Deer, a nod to the lush surroundings of Dufftown.
In the 1960s, Glenfiddich made the bold decision to market their single malt globally, effectively creating the category as we know it today. Their commitment to traditional methods, including the use of their own cooperage, has remained steadfast.
Today, the 12 Year Old stands as a testament to that enduring vision, offering a consistent and approachable profile that has introduced generations of drinkers to the world of single malt Scotch.
