With the money he had saved from his years at Mortlach he bought the stills from Cardhu distillery just as they were being replaced. Using his children and wife's labour he built a distillery as close to the river Fiddich as he could. The first few drops of spirit poured into the spirits safe in late 1887.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1911 Glenfiddich distillery was supplying spirit to several blending companies in Scotland and distributors around the world. They even had their own brand of blended whisky: Grant's. Considering the fact that, back then, most distillers had easy access to cash and were backed by bankers and wealthy business owners, William Grant's achievements were remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the prohibition in 1920's America began affecting the Scotch whisky industry Glenfiddich was among the very few distilleries that increased its production. Once the prohibition was repealed, this distillery had a competitive advantage: plenty of maturing stocks. This allowed Glenfiddich to remain strong for the decades ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1950's and 1960's saw Glenfiddich consolidate its image and becoming one of Scotland's most important players in the whisky industry. During those decades a cooperage, and workshops for coppersmiths were built on-site. Its iconic triangular bottle was designed by Hans Schleger in 1961. Faced with fierce competition and being involved in a grain supply dispute pushed the board of directors to release Glenfiddich as a single malt in 1963. They were the first distillery to promote its whisky under this category to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960's Glenfiddich single malt began selling on duty free markets before any other whisky brand, it also opened its doors to visitors before any other distillery.

During a period when greedy land owners saw an opportunity to enrich themselves through sheep farming, many crofters, farmers and even fishermen were 'cleared' (i.e. evicted) form their ancestral lands. The lands were the clearances caused more suffering were Caithness and Sutherland. The few crofters who remained were made to work at their laird's new enterprises. Often, they were paid with tokens that could only be redeemed at their laird's shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClynelish distillery enjoyed little success during its early years. The distillery was sold in 1896 and the new owners made Clynelish something of a success. During the early years of the 20th century, the distillery produced whisky intended for the blends of the Distillers Company Limited (DCL). During the 1930's the distillery closed down and partially reopened during World War two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1968 a larger and more efficient distillery was built right next to the original one. The original distillery was mothballed for only a couple of months. In 1969 the old Clynelish distillery was renamed Brora, it produced a heavily peated single malt for blending. This was done bacause Islay distilleries struggled with a drought during those years and Caol Ila distillery was being rebuilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth distilleries operated alongside each other until 1983 when Brora closed down. It had stopped producing heavily peated malt in 1973. In 2017 it was announced that Brora would be rebuilt and brought back to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClynelish distillery produces a spirit using a rather unique set up: the spirit stills are larger than the wash stills. A long fermentation period of some 55 hours produces fruity esters. The faints receiver has the naturally occurring oils cleaned and put back every time it gets cleaned. This results in a whisky with a waxy, mouth coating palate. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artful Dodgers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55666987336055,"sku":"P5244S","price":185.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2403\/2357\/files\/ArtfulDodgersHighland_Clynelish_25yearold.jpg?v=1757003443"},{"product_id":"artful-dodgers-caperdonich-1995-29-year-old","title":"Artful Dodgers Caperdonich 1995 (29 year old)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eArtful Dodgers Caperdonich 1995 (29 year old)\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBourbon Hogshead#95065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutturn:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistilled: 1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled: 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaperdonich Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:51c6485f-46d8-4fe4-a75e-f681056b40f4-0\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:51c6485f-46d8-4fe4-a75e-f681056b40f4-0\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:51c6485f-46d8-4fe4-a75e-f681056b40f4-0\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-2\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"2df84ec2-abee-4e3e-8a68-182988d0078c\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-5\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"559\"\u003eDuring the late 19th century whisky boom, James Grant sought to expand production and founded what was originally known as Glen Grant No. 2, later renamed Caperdonich Distillery.
