In 1886, William Grant, along with the help of his nine children and a single stone mason, began construction of the Glenfiddich Distillery, situated in the Speyside region of Scotland. After a year of hard labor, the first drop of whisky fell from the distillerys copper-pot stills on Christmas Day 1887. Today, Grants passion, determination, and pioneering spirit continue to guide Glenfiddich Distillery, which is stewarded by the fifth generation of the Grant family.Glenfiddich The Original 1963 Single Malt Scotch Whisky was inspired by the first Glenfiddich Single Malt that the distillery released in the United States in 1963. The 1963 single malt then called straight malt helped establish single malt scotch whisky as a distinct category in the United States. The bottles in this feature are produced using the same recipe and specifications as the 1963 whisky, and are labeled to pay homage to the original whisky.When you go to the distillery and see all of the amazing things weve done, one of the things we havent really talked about a lot is the role Glenfiddich played in creating the single malt category, said Andy Nash, Scotch Whisky category director for William Grant and Sons USA. Many talk about it and give us the credit for that, and its great to actually go back into our archives and see all of those elements and recreate them for a new audience now. Its really showing the pioneering that Glenfiddich was doing back in the 60s and that were continuing today.This Grand Cru encapsulates the spirit of luxury and craftsmanship of a Glenfiddich single malt. The finest fusion of flavors from Scotland and France this exclusive Glenfiddich expression has been matured for 23 years in American and European oak casks and elegantly finished in rare French Cuvee casks. Uniquely crafted, surprisingly unorthodox.Pick up your bottle today!

GLENFIDDICHProject XX Experimental Series #2In the heart of Speyside, in the Highlands, nestled in a majestic green aurora, sits confidently the Glenfiddich distillery. Gaelic for Valley of the Deer, Glenfiddich puts a symbol of a stag on their emblem. Founded by William Grant (previously at Mortlach) in the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and 2 daughters, Glenfiddich is one of the only Scottish distilleries to remain family owned. the distillery was built by hand, on the banks of the the Fiddich River. The first spirit dripped from the stills a year later on Christmas day 1887.Throughout its history, Glenfiddich has remained a resourceful business, far outpacing their competitors in production capacity and innovation. In the beginning, they produced blends for various clients, but when their biggest client Pattison went bankrupt in 1898, Glenfiddich created its own blend Steadfast, and in 1903 Glenfiddich was incorporated as William Grant and Sons.In 1923, Prohibition dried the markets to a trickle. Only 6 Scottish distilleries remained open, Glenfiddich was one of them. During this time, Grant Gordongrandson of William Grant joined the family business. At the height of Prohibition he insightfully increased whisky production, anticipating of a surge in demand after the ban. In the late 1950s, an onsite cooperage was established, with coppersmiths to tend to the distillerys distinctive copper stills. During 1963, William Grant and Sons responded resourcefully to a grain dispute with DCL, by building their own Girvan grain distillery, and made the decision to bottle and promote Glenfiddich as a single malt. They became the first Scottish whisky to promote their single malt outside of Scotland. This perspicacity is what introduced the single malt to the entire world. Glenfiddich has a longstanding presence in the whisky industry. Always on the forefront of imagination and innovation, it is the most awarded whisky in the world, and one of the highest selling whisky brands. In 1969 they were the first distillery to open their doors to the publicto this day they offer everything from tours, to private chef experiences. Under pagoda style roofs, are two still houses with 28 pear shaped copper stills, and handcrafted oak Solera vats that were added in 1998, to marry a range of aged spirits. They produce a colossal 10 million liters per year, using a specially sourced malted barley from Balvenie. They draw water from the Robbie Dhu Spring.The business is now owned by the 5th generation of Grants. They also own three additional malt distilleries; Balvenie, Kininvie and Ailsa Bay, and have also acquired other serious spirit brands such as Monkey Shoulder and Hendricks gin. Glenfiddich produces a diverse range of whiskies. A veritable collection of blends and single malts, differing in age statement and cask finish, Their newest range is their Experimental Series. Their full line up of experimental malts began with their India Pale Ale Cask Seasoned Single Malt, and their newest release is no less ambitious. Glenfiddich Project XX combined only the finest casks, chosen by 20 industry experts, to create yet another truly innovative single malt. Twenty different casks were chosen from the Glenfiddich warehouses and combined into a single expression. This masterfully harmonious blend has all the traditional Glenfiddich character, replete with an unparalleled complexity of adventurous flavors and aromas.

Eager to satisfy the growing demand for high-quality Whisky from customers of his grocery store, James Moir established the Glenglassaugh Distillery in 1875. At the time, it was commonplace for store owners to distill or blend their own Whisky. The location of Glenglassaugh Distillery it is situated on the outskirts of Banffshire in the Highlands region of Scotland was chosen because it offered ready access to an incredibly clean and pure water supply: Glassaugh Springs. In addition, the area was surrounded by fields of ripe, plump barley that were ideal for distillation.For over a hundred years, the Glenglassaugh Distillery operated at its original site, producing single malt Whiskies that were best known for their starring roles in renowned blended Scotch Whiskies, including Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse. In 1986, however, production at the distillery ceased, and would not be restarted until 2008, when new owners took over Glenglassaugh. While the distillery is again producing new Whisky, the new owners discovered they had purchased quite a bit more than the famous distillery itself: the purchase also included a cache of some 400 casks of aging Glenglassaugh single malt Whisky, each more than twenty years old.Glenglassaugh Revival is the breakout dram. Released fromGlenglassaugh distillery after being mothballed for more than 20 years, Revival is brought to age in a harmonious balance of ex-red wine and fresh bourbon casks. The Whisky is then vatted, and re-hacked for a second round of maturation, this time in sherry casks. Bottled at 46 percent, this stunning Highland single malt is non chill filtered, naturally colored, and brimming with coastal charm. Silver gold medalist 4 years running at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (2014-17), Glenglassaugh Revival has prominent notes of sweet caramel, sherry, citrus, and charred oak.

Situated in a wooded valley in the Highlands region of Scotland, Glengoyne Distillery was founded by George Campbell and has been producing single malt whisky continuously since 1833. The distillery, which takes its name from "Glen Guin" or Glen of the Wild Geese, is situated directly atop the Highlands Line the line that divides the Highlands and Lowlands regions of Scotland. As a result, while Glengoyne Single Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled in the Highlands region, it is matured in the Lowlands region, despite the fact that the distillerys stillhouse and maturation warehouses are across the street from each other.Glengoyne Single Malt Whisky is produced exclusively from Golden Promise barley. Golden Promise is an early-maturing spring barley that has a depth of flavor ideal for single malts. While it was popular in the production of whisky for many years, it gave way to cheaper barely that was higher in yield but lower in quality. Today, Glengoyne, along with The Macallan, is one of only two distilleries remaining in Scotland that continues to use Golden Promise barley.Once the Golden Promise barley has been air-dried, it is milled and mashed before being fermented for 56 hours in washbacks crafted from pine. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through Glengoynes copper-pot wash still and then again through its two copper-pot spirit stills, working in tandem (whisky is distilled more slowly at Glengoyne than at any other distillery in Scotland). The copper stills remove any remaining sulphur in the wash, and produce the sweet, concentrated flavors that define Glengoyne Scotch Whisky.With spicy vanilla fruit, ripe apples and a rich, luxurious mouthfeel, this incredible 18-year Glengoyne was released in 2012 as a classic sherried and non-peated whisky. This single malt is the result of 18 long years in first and re-fill sherry casks. Finalist at the 2017 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.Pick up your bottle today!

In 1738, a brewery was built upon Morangie Farm in the Highlands region of Scotland. A century later, William Matheson acquired the farm and equipped the Morangie brewery with two stills that he purchased second-hand, and renamed the brewery-converted-distillery Glenmorangie.Glenmorangie whiskies are made using malted barley, which is mashed and fermented with water sourced from the Tarlogie Spring. The water produced from the spring, which spends nearly a century underground being filtered through layers of limestone before it is extracted, is unusually rich in minerals. In the 1980s, when development in the area threatened the springs water quality, Glenmorangie purchased 600 acres of land around the spring in order to ensure a consistent and everlasting supply.After the barley has been fermented, the wash is twice distilled through Glenmorangies copper-pot stills by a team of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. Glenmorangies stills are equipped with relatively small boiler pots, which increases the exposure of the whisky to the copper, resulting in a more pure flavor. In addition, the stills are nearly seventeen feet tall the tallest of any distillery in Scotland and as a result, produce a lighter, more refined whisky.The original expression of the elegant, floral Glenmorangie range this ten-year-old single malt, is made by marrying the delicate spirit of Scotlands tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks. After maturing for ten years in a range of famous slow-grown and air-dried ex-bourbon designer casks from Missouri, this raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. The result is a mature soft, mellow and creamy spirit.Pick up your bottle today!

The 12-year-old Malaga Cask Finish is one of these. After its 8 years of initial aging it was transferred to first-fill Spanish Malaga fortified wine casks for an additional 4 years. Malaga is a sweet wine that is made with Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel grape varietals. These casks, chosen by Glenmorangies Dr. Bill Lumsden, impart the non-chill-filtered whisky with rich dried fruit notes.Get your bottle today!

He channeled the happy memories of his daughters pineapple upside down cake as well as his grandmothers baking for this sweet expression. Lumsden decided on Tokaji dessert wine casks for the finishing step that follows initial aging in ex-bourbon casks. The result is a rich and complex limited-edition single malt that pairs surprisingly well with actual cake a fact that is reinforced by Dominique Ansels creations. The famous pastry chef and inventor of the Cronut (a hybrid between a donut and croissant) has teamed up with Glenmorangie to create various CakeTails unique cake and cocktail pairings.Get your bottle today!

Glenmorangie Allta Scots Gaelic for "wild" is the tenth expression in the collection, and the very first whisky to be created from a bespoke strain of wild yeast growing on local barley.Yeasts influence on the character of whisky has long been overlooked. Acclaimed whisky writer Michael Jackson believed Glenmorangie possessed unique "house" yeast. Having discovered a strain of wild yeast that had never been identified before, Glenmorangie created this expression with local Cadboll barley. The result is an exceptional spirit, noted for its aromatic character, matured in ex-bourbon barrels to highlight its fruity character and lend a rich creaminess to the whisky.

Situated in the Orkney archipelago in Northern Scotland, Highland Park Distillery was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson. The name of the distillery is derived not from the region of Scotland known as The Highlands the Orkney islands are not a part of the Highlands but rather from the region known as High Park, where the distillery was founded. Highland Park is an incredible longstanding whisky house, and they pride themselves on their rich Norse heritage, an essence which is reflected in their craft.Today, over two centuries after its founding, Highland Park Distillery remains one of the few Scottish distilleries that continues to hand-turn, malt, and peat its own barley, using locally cut peat from the nearby Hobbister Moor. The malt is peated to 20 parts per million phenol, and then mixed with unpeated malt produced on the Scottish mainland... "You have to be careful here on the malting floor," says Eric Tait, Highland Parks Maltman. "You find it can get a wee bit slippery underneath. I have to turn the malt every eight hours to prevent the roots getting tangled and to get it all aerated properly. The airing also helps it to grow. The malt will be on the floor for seven days, and Im running five floors at the moment."After malting the barley, Highland Park Distillery smokes it using peat sourced from Hobbister Moor, a peat bog located approximately seven miles from the distillery. Hobbister Moor peat is sourced from floral heather bushes, which burn hotter and cleaner than the grassy peats of Islay. Also, the peat sourced from Hobbister Moor has greater derivatives of carbohydrates and a lower concentration of lignin than peat from Islay, giving Highland Parks peat a unique chemical fingerprint. The peat is "absolutely fundamental in understanding the flavor of Highland Park Whisky," says Russell Anderson, the distillery manager. Together with Orkneys unique environment (the temperate, moist climate of the archipelago results in an even maturation process), the peat gives Highland Park Whisky its traditional malty flavors that are tempered by an ever-so-subtle touch of smoke.This expression comes from their Single Cask series, meaning its a unique whisky where the cask yielded a total of only 306 bottles. The cask was hand-picked by Flaviar and the juice is bottled at a cask-strength full 125 proof. The liquid has spent a dozen years in its first-fill European oak sherry hogshead, making for a fruity and extremely well-balanced single malt.Pick one of these 306 bottles up today!

Founded in 1798, presumably by Magnus Eunson, Highland Parks distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Kirkwall Orkney. Highland Park is the northernmost distillery in Scotland, a half mile further north than Scapa distillery. Although the name of the whisky has Highland in the title, the name of the whisky does not refer to the Scottish Highlands, but rather to the fact that the distillery was founded on an area called High Park which is distinguished from a lower Park area nearby.Highland Park malts its own barley, using locally cut peat from the nearby Hobbister Moor. The malt is peated to 20 parts per million phenol and then mixed with unpeated malt produced on the Scottish mainland.Highland Park is home to several critically acclaimed whiskies, offering several proprietary bottlings by year. In 1984, they became the first whisky ever to have scored a rating of 100 percent from The Scotland newspapers tasting team. Highland Park is made today, just as it was in 1798, using what they call their five keystones of production: aromatic peat, hand-turned floor maltings, sherry oak casks, cool maturation, and cask harmonization.Their peat is hand-cut from the Hobbister Moor, no less than seven miles from the distillery. The moor is over 9,000 years old, going as deep as four meters. The barren woodless moor is composed layer upon layer of densely compacted vegetation. Rich in heather, the peat is dried naturally in the summer, then burned in ancient kilns, where its heathery aromatic smoke infuses the malting barley.Highland Park is also one of the few distilleries that meticulously turns their malt by hand. Their barrels are cut from European and American oak, and crafted into staves at precisely 45. This was the method used by the Vikings to make their longships watertight. This special Highland Park single malt is matured predominately in American ex-sherry casks for 21 years. Pick up your bottle today!

For musicians, amps and equalizers maintain critical balance at high volume by fine-tuning musical frequencies at Highland Park, our Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion, does a similar job (producer).The packaging for Full Volume is also inspired by old-fashioned guitar amplifiers, featuring dials on the sides that indicate the different measurements of the bourbon, peat, vanilla and fruit elements. Producerand songwriter Saul Davies created a special piece of music, in coordination with the launch. Full Volume features notes of vanilla, tropical fruits, and just a hint of smoke.

The name of the distillery is derived not from the region of Scotland known as The Highlands the Orkney islands are not a part of The Highlands but rather from the region known as High Park, where the distillery was founded. Highland Park is an incredible longstanding whisky house, and they pride themselves on their rich Norse heritage, an essence which is reflected in their craft. Today, over two centuries after its founding, Highland Park Distillery remains one of the few Scottish distilleries that continues to hand-turn, malt, and peat its own barley. "You have to be careful here on the malting floor," says Eric Tait, Highland Parks Maltman. "You find it can get a wee bit slippery underneath. I have to turn the malt every eight hours to prevent the roots getting tangled and to get it all aerated properly. The airing also helps it to grow. The malt will be on the floor for seven days, and Im running five floors at the moment."After malting the barley, Highland Park Distillery smokes it using peat sourced from Hobbister Moor, a peat bog located approximately seven miles from the distillery. Hobbister Moor peat is sourced from floral heather bushes, which burn hotter and cleaner than the grassy peats of Islay. Also, the peat sourced from Hobbister Moor has greater derivatives of carbohydrates and a lower concentration of lignin than peat from Islay, giving Highland Parks peat a unique chemical fingerprint. The peat sourced from Hobbister Moor is "absolutely fundamental in understanding the flavor of Highland Park Whisky," says Russell Anderson, the distillery manager. Together with Orkneys unique environment (the temperate, moist climate of the archipelago results in an even maturation process), the peat gives Highland Park Whisky its traditional malty flavors that are tempered by just a subtle touch of smoke.THE DARK is the latest special edition from Highland Park. This 17 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky has been exclusively matured in first-fill European oak sherry seasoned casks, delivering a distinctly deep flavor, packed with dried fruits, nuts and spices overlaid with hints of smoky peat.Pick up your bottle today!

Founded in 1798, presumably by Magnus Eunson, Highland Parks distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Kirkwall Orkney. Highland Park is the northernmost distillery in Scotland, a half mile further north than Scapa distillery. Although the name of the whisky has Highland in the title, the name of the whisky does not refer to the Scottish Highlands, but rather to the fact that the distillery was founded on an area called High Park which is distinguished from a lower Park area nearby.Highland Park malts its own barley, using locally cut peat from the nearby Hobbister Moor. The malt is peated to 20 parts per million phenol and then mixed with unpeated malt produced on the Scottish mainland.Highland Park is also one of the few distilleries that meticulously turns their malt by hand. Their barrels are cut from European and American oak, and crafted into staves at precisely 45. This was the method used by the Vikings to make their longships watertight. In collaboration with Danish tattoo artist and modern day Viking Soul, Colin Dale, this expression marries whisky matured in oak casks seasoned with Spanish Rioja wine 153 casks in total with whisky matured in 70 first-fill bourbon casks. The result is a rich and full-bodied single malt whisky with a distinctively different character.Pick up your bottle today!
