Glenfiddich 12 year Amontillado Sherry Cask:
History: In 1886 William Grant had a dream to build his own Distillery with his family, they did this stone by stone.. They started producing in 1887. Still to this day, run by the Grant Family. The Glenfiddich name is Gaelic meaning is Valley of the Deer.
The Macallan 12 year Double Cask:
