Who We Are

Our founder William Grant established our company in 1887.

His vision was to make the best dram in the valley, and it stands true today as we build brands that are loved the world over.

Christmas Day

1887

the first drop of Glenfiddich flowed from our stills

William Grant and his family of nine built our distillery brick by brick with their own hands. The first spirit ran from the still on Christmas Day 1887 to much celebration. Since then, our company has gone from strength to strength.
