The Glenfiddich distillery produces a Speyside single malt scotch whisky founded in 1876 by William Grant & Sons in Dufftown, Scotland. Glenfiddich means ‘Valley of the Deer’ in Gaelic, hence the presence of a stag symbol on Glenfiddich bottles. A colossus amongst whisky producers, Glenfiddich is the world’s best-selling and most awarded maker of scotch whiskies accounting for about 30% of single malt sales world-wide.
Today the company is still run by William Grant’s descendants using the famous triangular green bottle that was introduced in 1957 and can now be found in just about every licensed establishment around the world.
