Background: Located in Dufftown, the heart of the whisky producing Speyside region of Scotland, Glenfiddich distillery is a behemoth in the single malt whisky world. Founded in 1887, it holds the honour of being arguably the first distillery to release single malt to the world with there first ever release in 1963. Their brave foray into the single malt world paved the way for other distilleries to do the same, making them pioneers in the world of whisky. Glenfiddich, along with sister distillery Balvenie, have been owned by William Grant and Sons since their inceptions, making them one of the few remaining local, family owned distilleries in Scotland. Today, Glenfiddich is one of the best selling single malts in the world, and their core expressions cover a wide range of ages and cask types, with the 12YO, 15YO, 18YO and 21YO all subtly different in terms of composition of casks used.

Flavour Profile: Notes of oak, pear and spiciness. Older expressions with more sherry show signs of stewed fruits like apples.
