Glenfiddich is one of the most well known and loved distilleries in the world and is owned by William Grant & Sons. The distillery sits in the town of Dufftown in Moray in the Speyside whisky region of Scotland. Glenfiddich means ‘valley of the deer’ in Scottish Gaelic which is why the distillery logo is a stag. Founded in 1886 by William Grant who was also the founder of The Balvenie and Mortlach distilleries. The output of this distillery is over 10 million litres of spirit each year which makes this one of the largest single malt distilleries in the world in terms of output. Because of this it is nicknamed ‘the giant’. The distillery boasts 30 stills and 24 washbacks, it’s own cooperage and its own bottling hall. With 43 warehouses onsite to mature the whisky. They use mainly ex bourbon American Oak barrels to mature the whisky but also use rum casks from the Caribbean, and sherry butts from Jerez in Spain.

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 candy floss, 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.
