Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is the world's most awarded single malt Scotch whisky — the bottle that introduced the world to single malts. This 750ml Speyside expression is aged 12 years in American and European oak casks, then married in oak marrying tuns, at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Distilled at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown — built by hand by William Grant and his family in 1887 — it remains family-owned and fiercely independent. It is the essential starting point of our whiskey collection for anyone new to Scotch.
