Glenfiddich

What type of whisky is Glenfiddich?

Glenfiddich, which is Gaelic for "valley of the deer," is located in the Speyside regionof Scotland. Glenfiddich is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that has matured in various casks, such as rum casks from the Caribbean, bourbon casks from the USA, and sherry casks from Spain. The casks have been toasted or charred to caramelize the wood's sugars and unlock the oak's flavor. Glenfiddich's core range consists of unpeated/non-smoked whisky, which is readily available and known for its relatively sweet taste.

Glenfiddich is a renowned whisky brand that has won numerous awards. In the distillery's core range, it is especially the 15-year-old Glenfiddichthat has received accolades, including three double gold medals over four years at the San Francisco Spirits Competition from 2007-2010.
