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.
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.
