Recognised wherever a bottle of Glenfiddich is being enjoyed, our triangular bottle and iconic stag have long been known across the world as marks of distinction and quality.
However, styles and practices are forever changing and the Glenfiddich brand has evolved to remain fresh while remaining respectful of our heritage.
We caught up with Paul Kendall, our archivist at The Glenfiddich Distillery. It’s Paul’s job to safeguard our family history, ensuring that each generation’s chapter in our family story can be enjoyed by generations yet to come. We asked Paul to tell us a little bit about how the Glenfiddich brand has matured over the years.

Glenfiddich has been a family business since William Grant laid the very first stones on the site of our distillery with the help of his seven sons and two daughters back in 1886.

A Family Tree
by Joel Harrison
As a writer, I am enthralled by narrative. The journey for any reader should be one of discovery, of adventure and of learning.
Over the past two months, I have been on a journey of discovery to see exactly how the whisky in a bottle of Glenfiddich single malt Scotch is produced. Parts of this journey I have been on before, but looking at the individual aspect of exactly how a cask is produced, from the branch to the barrel has been an utterly beguiling experience.
