Glenfiddich Distillery, located in Dufftown, Moray, Scotland, was founded in 1887 by William Grant. The name ‘Glenfiddich’ translates to ‘Valley of the Deer’ in Gaelic, reflecting its picturesque setting near the River Fiddich. It is one of the few family-owned distilleries in Scotland, currently managed by the fifth generation of the Grant family.
