Glenfiddich, founded in 1887 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, is one of the most iconic names in single malt Scotch whisky. William Grant’s vision was to create "the best dram in the valley," and he built the Glenfiddich distillery by hand with the help of his seven sons and two daughters. The name Glenfiddich means "Valley of the Deer" in Gaelic, which is why the deer remains the emblem of the brand. Today, Glenfiddich is known worldwide for pioneering the single malt category and bringing Scotch whisky to a global audience.
