This bottling of a Glenfiddich without age statement as an original bottling of the distillery was produced in the Experimental Series as No.4 with the name Fire & Cane. The whisky is lightly peated and finished in ex-rum casks.
Since its foundation in 1886, the distillery has been owned by the William Grant family, who introduced the whisky to the world market in 1963 as the first single malt ever.
It is one of the largest in Scotland and one of the most famous whisky brands in the world. The distillery is located near the town of Dufftown in the Highlands. It was the first ever distillery to open a visitor centre. The water for their whiskies comes from the Robbie Dubh spring. The in-house bottling plant is also special.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
