Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Glenfiddich 12 Years is best enjoyed at room temperature (18–22°C). A few drops of water help release the aromas and soften the texture. Here’s a tip: if you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, let it rest for a few minutes after pouring. The flavours will open up beautifully.
The Story Behind Glenfiddich
Glenfiddich was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland. His vision was simple: to create “the best dram in the valley.” He and his family built the distillery by hand, stone by stone. In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. On Christmas Day 1887, the first spirit ran from the stills. Today, it remains one of the few single malt distilleries in Scotland to be family‑owned. In 1963, Glenfiddich became the first single malt to be marketed globally, introducing the world to the beauty of single malts. Today, it’s the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky. It’s a testament to the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship that defines the brand. Discover more on the official Glenfiddich website.
