Distillery Background
Glenfiddich, founded in 1887, remains one of the few family-run distilleries in Scotland. Its secluded valley in Dufftown allows complete control over production, from coopers to coppersmiths. This independence fuels innovation, and the 21 Reserva Rum Cask Finish is a testament to their mastery, tradition elevated through bold, thoughtful experimentation.
