Glenfiddich is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced by William Grant & Sons in the Scottish burgh of Dufftown in Moray. Glenfiddich means "valley of the deer" in Scottish Gaelic, which is reflected in Glenfiddich's stag logo.
Being one of the oldest family-owned single malt distilleries in the world, they have carried a pioneering spirit through the generations. It was fifth Malt Master, David Stewart, who masterminded the Solera technique that makes the 15 Year Old expression so special.
David was so inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain that he designed a custom-built Solera Vat to add extra layers of smoothness and sweetness to this 15 Year Old expression. Eschewing the traditional, pyramid-style barrel construction, David drew on his 35 years of experience and understanding, as well as the knowledge passed down to him by previous generations of Malt Masters, to create something genuinely new.
