In the Scottish village of Dufftown in the Moray region, William Grant & Sons manufactures the Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey Glenfiddich. The Scottish Gaelic word Gleann Fhiodhaich, which translates to 'valley of the deer' and is represented in the stag emblem for Glenfiddich, is the source of the term Glenfiddich. In Dufftown, Scotland, in the glen of the River Fiddich, William Grant established the Glenfiddich Distillery. On Christmas Day 1887, the first batch of Glenfiddich single-malt whiskey was released from the stills. The Glenfiddich distillery near Dufftown, Moray, is where Glenfiddich whiskey is made. As a single malt Scotch whiskey, Glenfiddich must be prepared from a mash of malted barley and was distilled at a single distillery using a pot still distillation procedure. There are 31 copper pot stills with the characteristic 'swan neck' form on the property. These stills are smaller than the majority of other large distilleries' current stills. Every still at Glenfiddich is handcrafted, and a crew of artisans and coppersmiths cares after them. These stills can hold about 13,000,000 liters of alcohol. The Robbie Dhu springs, which are close to the distillery, provide water for Glenfiddich Whisky. Copper stills with swan necks at the distillery Glenfiddich is aged in a variety of casks, including Caribbean rum casks, American bourbon whiskey barrels, and Spanish Jerez de la Frontera sherry barrels.
