GLENLIVET DISTILLERY 12yo 40% abv 70 cl (70 proof 26 2/3 fl oz, bot. early 1970’s est.)

For 20 years William Grant nurtured a dream to make the ‘best dram in the valley’. With the help of his family, he finally achieved that vision.

In the summer of 1886, with his seven sons and two daughters by his side, William set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition. Together they began building his Distillery by hand, stone by stone. After a single year of work it was ready and William named it Glenfiddich, Gaelic for Valley of the Deer. Glenfiddich has since gone on to win more awards than any other distillery.

This bottle is unique because it uses the imperial system of measurement for its denotation of quantity.

Bottled at 40% abv
