Glenfiddich

Glenfiddich (Valle de los ciervos en gaélico) es una destilería de whisky escocés de malta situada en Dufftown, Escocia, en la región de Speyside. Pertenece a William Grant & Sons

Bottle , Glenfiddich 12, botella

La destilería Glenfiddich fue fundada en 1886 por William Grant en Dufftown, Escocia, en el valle del río Robbie Dhu.

  destilería, Glenfiddich

La primera gota de whisky Glendfiddich salió de los alambiques de la destilería el día de Navidad de 1887.​ Tras los momentos difíciles de la década de 1960 y 1970, muchos pequeños destiladores independientes fueron comprados o salieron del negocio. Para sobrevivir, William Grant & Sons amplió su producción de bebida, e introdujo las campañas de publicidad, un centro de visitantes y desde 1957 el whisky escocés embotellado en sus distintivas botellas de forma triangular.

Más tarde, William Grant & Sons fue una de las primeras compañías en envasar sus botellas en tubos y latas de regalo. También fue una de las primeras en reconocer la importancia de las tiendas libres de impuestos para las bebidas espirituosas. Esta estrategia de marketing fue un éxito, y Glenfiddich se ha convertido en el single malt más vendido del mundo. Es vendido en 180 países, representando un 35% de las ventas mundiales de single malt. Glenfiddich es el único whisky escocés de Speyside o Highland que es destilado, madurado y embotellado en una única destilería. Al igual que otras destilerías, como Glen Grant y Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich usa una fuente natural de agua del manantial de Robbie Dhu.

Dhalwinnie

Dalwhinnie Distillery, situated in the Highland village of Dalwhinnie in Scotland, produces Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Dalwhinnie refers to its own whisky as a Highland Whisky but as it is located within both the Highland and Speyside region it can legally be called either a Highland or Speyside whisky. It is owned by Diageo.

The site for the distillery was chosen for its access to clear spring water from Lochan-Doire-Uaine and abundant peat from the surrounding bogs. Set in splendid mountain scenery, Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland at 1,164 ft (355 m) above sea level. The name Dalwhinnie is derived from Gaelic word Dail Chuinnidh, which means meeting place, referring to the meeting of ancient cattle drovers' routes through the mountains. 1897: John Grant of Grantown-on-Spey, George Sellar of Kingussie, and designer Alexander Mackenzie, also of Kingussie and already a designer of a distillery there, put up an estimated £10,000 to build the Strathspey Distillery at Dalwhinnie between the Great North Road and the Highland Railway.

1898: In February production begins but by the summer the venture was already in liquidation. In October A. P. Blyth buys the distillery for his son and renames it Dalwhinnie announcing ‘considerable improvements on the building and plant’. 1905: The largest distillers in the U.S.A., Cook and Bernheimer, buy the distillery at auction for just £1,250. Many fear the take-over of the Scotch whisky industry. A huge warehouse in Leith blends Dalwhinnie with other whiskies ‘to suit the American palate’. 1919: Prohibition hits America. Dalwhinnie returns to Scottish hands; they are those of Sir James Calder, chairman of Macdonald Greenlees, also blenders in Leith.

1926: Macdonald Greenlees is itself acquired; by the Distillers Company Ltd. (DCL). Dalwhinnie gains its fifth owner in under thirty years and is licensed to James Buchanan and Co. (famous for the Black and White and Buchanan blends).

1934: A fire in the early hours of February 1st closes the distillery for four years; perhaps coincidentally this is also the year in which electricity first comes to the village, replacing paraffin lamps. 1937: As rebuilding continues, winter snowdrifts 20 ft (6.1 m) high hamper work. 1938: After four years Dalwhinnie re-opens in April, rebuilt and refreshed… 1940: …and shuts again, in common with most distilleries, as a result of wartime restrictions on their use of barley. 1961: The wash stills are converted to steam heating from a coal-fired boiler. 1968: The maltings cease production. Barley is now brought in from specialist maltsters for greater control over peatiness and alcohol yield. 1969: British Rail closes the distillery’s private siding; Dalwhinnie whiskies now leave for the south by road. 1972: Oil-firing replaces coal as modernization continues. 1987: The distillery becomes part of United Distillers. United Distillers was a Scottish company formed in 1987 combining the businesses of Distillers Company and Arthur Bell & Sons, both owned by Guinness. During a modernisation of the Dalwhinnie plant the traditional worm tubs were removed and shell and tube condensers installed. 1989: Dalwhinnie 15 year old becomes one of the Six Classic Malts of Scotland. 1991: New visitor centre opens. 1994: Dalwhinnie is confirmed by the Met. Office as having the coldest average recorded temperature (6.0 C) of any inhabited region in Scotland and probably the U.K. 1995: Distillery refitted. Traditional worm tubs are reinstated, having been removed several years earlier. 1997: Diageo was formed in 1997 from the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan and Dalwhinnie became part of the drinks giant’s portfolio. 1980: The Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 1980 is released; a second maturation in Oloroso sherry seasoned casks brings out still more depth of character. 1998: A special centenary bottling of Dalwhinnie 15 year old commemorates Dalwhinnie’s 100th anniversary. 1999: Dalwhinnie 15 Year old and the Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 1981 are both awarded Monde Selection Gold Medals. 2004: Dalwhinnie 15 year old wins a Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirit Competition. 2009: Dalwhinnie 15 year old wins Gold (Best in Class) International Wine & Spirit Competition. 2010: Dalwhinnie Manager’s Choice 1992 is released.

Vat 69

Vat 69 is a Scotch blended whisky created by William Sanderson & Son Limited of South Queensferry, Scotland, now part of Diageo.

Vat69

Vat 69 - Blended Scotch Whisky - 700 ml William Sanderson was born in Leith, Scotland January 27, 1839. He started an apprenticeship with wine and spirituous liquors producer Matthew Buchan at the age of 13. By 1863, he already owned his own business producing liqueurs and whisky blends. In 1880, his son William Mark joined the business and persuaded his father to bottle various blends of whisky. The iconic Vat 69 bottle with its bulbous neck was introduced to the market and was not changed for the next hundred years. In 1882, William Sanderson prepared one hundred casks of blended whisky and hired a panel of experts to taste them.  The batch from the cask (or “vat”) with number 69 was judged to be the best, and this provided the whisky's brand name. The whisky was at first bottled in port bottles. In 1884, Sanderson bought the Glen Garioch distillery which was situated in the middle of a barley field. The distillery was meant to ensure the delivery of grain whisky. Sanderson took care that there were always new products to be blended, because DCL, which was a strong society at that time, controlled such a large amount of the production that it had a huge influence on the supply of the competing company. For this reason Sanderson, together with Usher and Bell, founded a company to produce grain whisky, which still exists today as the North British Distillery. Sanderson sourced a few malt whiskies used to blend VAT 69 from a friend, John Begg, who owned the Royal Lochnagar distillery. When Begg died, Sanderson became director of Begg's distillery. In 1933, Sanderson's company merged with Booth's Distilleries, which merged again with the DCL-Group in 1935. In autumn 1980, "Vat 69 Reserve" from the House of Sanderson had its world première in England. Despite its name, it is not a vatted malt, but a blend of about 40 malt and grain whiskies. Vat 69 Reserve carries no standard age statement because of the combination of the malts and grains.
