Glenfiddich Distillery

Dufftown, United Kingdom

Glenfiddich is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced by William Grant & Sons in the Scottish burgh of Dufftown in Moray. Glenfiddich means 'valley of the deer' in Scottish Gaelic, which is why the Glenfiddich logo is a stag.

The Glenfiddich Distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, in the glen of the River Fiddich. The Glenfiddich single malt whisky first ran from the stills on Christmas Day, 1887.

Huge setup with cafe, bar, tour and merchandise shopping in additions to whisky. Impressive!

A really nice place to visit. Do one of yours with a tasting at the end. Our guide was warm and funny and obviously very enthusiastic about the place. The lounge behind the shop is how a bar really should be. Totally recommended. The tours need booking in advance but not a shop or whisky lounge visit.

Lovely distillery in a fantastic location with a great, informative tour that ended with a tasting. Shop was very well presented and the cafe and whisky lounge looked great. Would definitely recommend the full experience.

We had such a great experience at the Distillery Shop with Steve, who explained everything to us, gave us a Whisky tasting (for free!) and showed us the opportunity to bottle, cork and label our own Glenfiddich Whisky - which we did - of course! It was amazing, funny and will be such a great memory for us! Thank you! ?

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
