For twenty years, William Grant had dreamed of producing the 'best whisky in the valley'. With the help of his family, he was finally able to turn his idea into reality. In the summer of 1886, William Grant, with the help of his seven sons and two daughters, set about the task. Together, they built the walls of a distillery, stone by stone. After a year of hard work, they finally reached their goal, and William Grant decided to name his work Glenfiddich, 'the valley of the stags' in Gaelic. Today, William Grant's passion, determination and pioneering spirit continue to permeate Glenfiddich. The world's most awarded single malt, Glenfiddich is still produced in the original distillery. Still in family hands, it has preserved the innovative spirit of its founder for five generations.
