FRESH PEAR, SUBTLE OAK
Flowing in the Valley of the Deer since 1887, our family’s signature expression is the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky*.
With a unique freshness from the same Highland spring water we’ve used since 1887, its distinctive fruitiness comes from the high cut point William Grant always insisted upon.
Carefully matured in the finest American oak and European oak sherry casks for at least 12 years, it is mellowed in oak marrying tuns to create its sweet and subtle oak flavours.
Creamy with a long, smooth and mellow finish, our 12 Year Old is the perfect example of Glenfiddich’s unique Speyside style and is widely proclaimed the best dram in the valley.
WARM SPICE, HONEY, RICH FRUIT
Exemplifying our family’s tradition of innovation, our 15 Year Old expression is created using a technique pioneered by our Malt Master and its warm, spicy flavours are transformed with the alchemy of the Solera Vat.
Aged in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, the whisky is mellowed in our unique Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal.
Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, our Solera Vat is the culmination of curious minds and the pioneering spirit of our family. It’s also the secret behind this whisky becoming the first 15 year old expression to enter the top ten best selling single malts.
OAK, BAKED APPLE, CINNAMON
We use fine Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak to mature this rich, intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression, but there are many more reasons why this expression is special.
Every batch is individually numbered and carefully watched over. Each has extraordinary consistency and character from an intense marrying period, and a warming, distinguished finish.
A truly exceptional single malt, the result not just of eighteen years of care and attention, but of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations.
Patiently matured for 21 years on-site at the distillery, it is an exquisite, traditional Speyside whisky, rich and ripe with our Glenfiddich signature notes. But rather than bottle it, as other distillers would, our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, hand picks selected barrels and adds a sublime finishing touch.
By finishing our 21 Year Old in Caribbean rum casks it awakens the liquid, rousing it with extra exotic notes of ginger, fig, lime and banana and a vibrant spicy toffee warmth, elevating it from something great to something extraordinary.
Raised in Scotland. Roused by the Caribbean.
Glenfiddich Fire & Cane is a bold fusion of smoky and sweet notes. By marrying peated whisky and malts matured in bourbon barrels, and then finishing in Latin rum casks, we created an exquisite whisky with campfire smokiness and toffee sweetness.
In the first experiment of its kind, Malt Master Brian Kinsman collaborated with Seb Jones, an entrepreneurial Speyside brewer, to create a new craft IPA and pioneer the way for a new kind of single malt Scotch whisky.
Brewed in bespoke craft IPA barrels, this single malt expression is imbued with unique zesty citrus notes of ripe green apple, William’s pear and spring blossom. Complemented by the subtle tang of fresh hops followed by a long lasting sweetness.
This malt is proof that remarkable feats can be achieved when great people get together.
20 of the whisky industry’s most exceptional minds came together to create this truly unique, pioneering single malt expression.
With its deep golden hue, Project XX embodies the warm, fruity character of a classic Glenfiddich whisky with hints of apple blossom, summer fruits and ripe pear. But its multiple personalities are revealed with hints of sweet candyfloss, cinnamon spice, almonds and rich port tannins with the odd whisper of liquorice. Deep and mellow, the finish is long lasting with a lingering sweet oakiness.

After the wonderful reception that the Lagavulin 8 Year Old 200th Anniversary Edition received when it was released in 2016, the Islay-based distillers decided to add this delicious expression to their permanent core range! As Alfred Barnard (author of The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom) said of an 8 year old Lagavulin in the 1880s, this stuff is "exceptionally fine".
If you feel like broadening your horizons and experiencing Lagavulin as you never have before, then we heavily recommend The Lagavulin Hot Chocolate. We know that this may not appeal to some, but honestly you really should give it a try because it's absolutely gorgeous.

All Malt by Nikka is a Japanese blended whisky made from single malts from Yoichi and Miyagikyo as well as malts distilled in a Coffey Still aka column or patent still. While generally used for unsalted grain (corn or wheat), Nikka's innovative use of the Coffey still with malted barley results in a whisky which captures a new range of nuances in the same raw material. All malt, all flavour.
All Malt is old gold in hue with golden highlights, the aroma is lively & mineral, with hints of leather and smoked meats, tobacco and ash emerge alongside fresh apple and fresh cut grass. The palate is rich and delicious. After a burst of rich, liqueur-like softens which is at odds with the liveliness of the nose, ripe fruit raisin notes develop alongside an increasing notes of sunflower oil. This finish is soft, but concentrated, with distinct notes of aniseed, sandalwood and clove.
Nicknamed as “Bearded Black” Black Nikka Special has been in the market since 1965. Made in Nikka Coffey stills this blended Japanese whisky is a great everyday drinking whisky.
Nose: Sweet with nuts and little bit of refreshing vanilla.
Palate: The sweetness goes away and is replaced with spices and salt with some bitter notes of dark chocolate.

Wild Turkey 101 is a genuine full-bodied super-premium Bourbon. Its high Rye content gives it that Wild Turkey signature kick. Wild Turkey 101 has anexceptionally gentle and rich aroma for a high proof bourbon, thanks to it's uncompromising approach to the quality distillation processes.
Adhering to the genuine craft values and distillation processes that we refuse to give up, it’s a testament to our refusal to compromise on standards of excellence. Master Distiller, Jimmy Russell tells it this way, “We make Wild Turkey the old-fashioned way. It’s a totally natural process which takes substantially more time and money, but we believe it’s worth it. Poorer quality premium bourbons are distilled at higher proofs, as they are less expensive to manufacture that way, and then watered down to reduce the proof before bottling. However, as Wild Turkey comes out of the barrel at around 109°, it only requires a little water to be added and therefore retains it true bourbon flavour. Jimmy likens it to making a great soup; if you cook it longer at a lower temperature, you retain the best flavours…
