The Glenfiddich distillery was built in 1886 by William Grant, one of the best distillers of his time, who bought an old alembic from Mrs Elizabeth Cumming, owner of a nearby distillery.
The current stills (five for the first and eight for the second distillation) remained the original dimensions. The company is still owned by the Grant family which systematically introduced malt whiskey and today Glenfiddich is the best selling in the world. It is also the only distillery in the Highlands equipped for bottling on site.
