How to make Glenfiddich whisky: Daily Planet goes to Scotland

- Опубліковано 30 лис 2015
- Glenfiddich of Dufftown, Scotland, is one of the last family-run single malt whisky distilleries - churning it out for almost 130 years. Launched in 1887 by William Grant, a maverick of his time - today, the process remains largely unchanged and the same passion is passed down to generations of craftsmen. Daily Planet gets a taste of what it takes to makes the “water of life”.

I got a bottle of Glenfiddich 12 year old form my wife on my Birthday a few weeks ago,life is good,cheers.
My brain: -_-
Slange!
Happy Birthday, cheers
Glenfiddich 12 is just not for me. It's too spicy. I never picked up the scent of pear in Glenfiddich 12 but did it in Glenfiddich 18 despite it being more of the smell of an apple.
I was born in Dufftown in 1956, so I'm a year older than that 1957 cask of whisky. Dufftown stands on the river Fiddich, a tributary of the river Spey, So Glenfiddich gets it's name from the river Fiddich, the river of the deer.
What's so awesome about the 15 especially is that it's from their "solera cask/vat". Which is where they add the 15 year old whiskey to a very large container, then fill bottles until the vat is about half and repeat. So some of the whiskey in there could be much older than 15 years. Very interesting!
This place was awesome, loved being in Dufftown as well...
Thank you Scotland for coming up with this stuff. Life saver. Liquid gold. My favorite Glenfiddich is the 18 YO but to be honest I haven't had the chance to taste any older expressions as of yet.
U drink my brother?
I've only had the 15 as I haven't got my hands on the 18 yet. is it noticeably better than the 15?
@@buffdogg It's certainly a huge jump up from Glenfiddich 12. It's also very reasonable pricing for an 18-year-old, so in all senses, I think it will be well worth it.
I love Glenfiddich it came out with my family coat of arms makes me proud the Scottish it's a very smooth whiskey
Just bought the select cask single malt -bottle (the blue duty free one) cant wait to taste it when some friends are coming over, much love from finland!
I would love to visit this place 😍
Whiskey is definitely about personal taste, I’ve tried the 12yr, 15yr, 18yr, 30yr n I think they made a smokey flavoured 21yr but 15yr is the best 4 me, simply outstanding n I’ve never tasted better!!
glad to hear that, i just bought one for my dads birthday, cant wait to give it to him
Well my whiskey hobby begun with the Glenfiddich 12 the taste for the price in my country is really good it shows the good work that is put into it .
Absolute my favorite
This my favorite drink thank you so much for sharing
The 18 year old is amazing
I just got myself one while on vacation, cracked it open first thing when I got home and loved it instantly
The strong alcohol kills me though lol
Harry Zimmerman I’ve only had the 12 year old because here in Australia it’s very expensive it ranges from the 12 year old which is $60 up to the 50 year old which is $48,000.
gotta give it to livet 18
Yeah, the Glenfiddich 18 is the best 18 year old I’ve had so far, Including that offered by Glenlivet - so much going on, complex and so moreish, plus at about £65 a bottle it’s also a lot cheaper than the other main distillers 18 year olds and gets better and better as you get down the bottle
My All-time favorite..........
Nice video, such a great place..
It's very interested n amazing ...n awosome plant cleaning is good
I had couple of time. awosome. love it❤️
It's very interesting and amazing! ;-)
So, this is what Hagrid's been doing since them all left Hogwarts....
Skuller lol gold!
Hahaha
Aha its funny because he’s scottish. 😐
It’s a Summer job?
In that case i would say he is damn good at his job.
that opening music is amazing.
I think it's the tune of the final boss in dodonpachi - an arcade shmup
Seriously what a wonderful job to work at a distillery that produces most delicious and wonderful whiskey.wish I could be part of it.I have tasted the 12 and 18 year old the taste is very fruity with Honey.
Mmm. Finally a good recommendation from UA-cam. Love myself a bottle of glen 12 every once and a while
One of the best whiskey if not the best whiskey ive tasted
@Adolf Gustav III neither can beat it
There's Blue label. There's Macallan
Hi mate, how about JD? In your opinion, which one do you think is better and what are the reasons?
@@milanhenegamage3576 Jack Daniels? Can't even compare it to the big dogs here. JD is for the stereotypical drinker sounding posh. The real posh are the whiskeys mentioned above. And only Gentleman Jack is somewhat liked by me
@@milanhenegamage3576 jack daniel just has a name. Its trash
My sons and I like to try distillers we have not tried before. Picked up a bottle of 12, 15 and 18 (only ages store had). Looking forward to blind tasting them.
My absolute favorite whisky.
Very nice video great
I love this
I don't know what he said, but he said it well...Good job laddie
I like this
I would dearly love to walk into that warehouse and smell the aromas
Very nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I smelled a 40 yr Glenfiddich. It was heavenly.
Excellent mini Scotchumentary! Who would like to see more like this?
Cheers🥃🥃🥃

"I really believe Whisky is in our blood" - says guy who just downed a bottle of Glenfiddich
That dude looks fucked up
You just leave wee Mike alone, he's a really nice and kind hearted guy. This guy would move mountains for you, if he had to.
been drinking single malt for years and have around 20 different bottles in cabinet and i only just realised whiskey is clear when it goes in the barrel !
I got a chance to watch the same process at paul john single malt distillary (goa)
Wiki might be wrong. The Gaidhlig word for deer is fèidh. The local river name is Fiodhach so I suspect it's named after the latter. Uisge-beatha, Slainte !
I Love Scotland 🤗
That's it, I need a new bottle for my days off this week, starting tomorrow, CHEERS!!
It's all about refinement 🤠
Why my forefathers didn't start a small brewing so that I can make 100 thousand now. I need a time machine
They did...your cousin Vijay Mallya Sharma blew it.

Good one, likes more
Glenfiddich was the first whisky I ever had and I love it! These fine people are doing a great job.
Wow deffrent experience
Nothing gets close to Glenfiddich 12, 15 & 18! The best single malts
I 💓 Glenfiddich
lot of hard work to make something awesome
No corn! Motivated me to look up the differences in whiskeys lol
and I love it again and again. finest scotch.
One impressive thing about this is that, for an 18 year-old for example, they have to figure how much they can sell in 18 years and make that much today.
Great now offer some 46% plus ABV bottlings please!
I wonder how many tons of whisky they produce that it keeps running the supply during the 3 or 4 years of aging the whisky
Yes please
Does anyone know the music playing right at the beginning?? Dinna-na-na-din-na-na???
I thought copper doesn't not hold heat well as it is the second best heat conductor
Wow 100'000 bottles a day are produced, that's insane !
my favorite scotch. from The USA
I love your whiskey, the whiskey is part of my life....
I wanna be there and test the pure whiskey full of wood kasks test...
It is a very good whiskey 21 yr or older, but 18 or XX are go too 🥃👍💯
100,000 bottles per day? Wow, that seems crazy high.
that's 75 million liters a day,,crazy indeed and unthinkable
@Mark Muller and this is everyday??? it's not possible
@@ARCSTREAMS you should improve your math 😆 😂 because it is rather 75.000 litres per day. Also note that bottles made for the European market only contain 0.7 litre 😉
you are correct i made a mistake and it should have been 75K liters if all of it was for western market only ,so somewhere between 70 to 75k a day almost 20k gallons,,still crazy and impressive
Yeah, that's an absurdly high number. Maybe they meant 100,000 per week (or more likely) per month.
My Brand . 😎
My favourit. So expensive in My country, cant buy as often as i would like
100000 bottles per day, wow for a family run distillery thats great
i want that music~
I want 2 bottles of Glenfiddich..12 and 15 yrs old..
I like glenfiddich
The 18 is something else....
I'm on my way to restock some... yummy
Awesome scotch.......my favourite .....
Glenfiddich is worth its price and more . My problem are these leeching GVMT agencies who tax the "Sheet" out of it.
When I drink a GLENFIDDICH I feel really really rich
adit is that you? :D
Price please
The 12 year old is the Whisky that woke up a Pashion for Whisky, for that i am very greatful, it blew my Mind that Whisky could be so much better then the "Whisky" i knew from my Teenage years.(that sounds way worse then it is)
Bueno Whisky 🥃
Hello everyone. It looks like I have Glenfiddich from 1941. Special Reserve. Does anyone know what would be the price for this one?
I have no idea but if it is legit then it might be pretty good sum.
I need a 71
Narrator sounds like she’s reporting the morning news
The blue is the best
What's the price of 2bottles..
£50,000 if you want 2x 50 yr old.
What language is this?
is that where Duff beer comes from? dooope
Ive got a bottle of 21 year old. once a year ill have a dram. the water of life
Oooooo get me a tub if brasso and get me to them stills.
Precisely, Mr Mike Dawson: Whisky is but about TIME. It is the TIME (no less than 3 years of maturation in Scotland in oak casks) that makes a Scotch Whisky to become THE REAL SCOTCH WHISKY. A world apart from any other kind of liquor. Indeed, time is also an important factor in the making of many other categories of alcohol drinks: wine, rum, or the various types of brandies. But all of these lack the Balance of the Genuine Scotch Whisky. The art and the craft of the Scotch whisky making is as precise as the watch making. In William Gran's in particlular. Unique and about time. It reminds one of the book by the world-famous black hole scientist Stephen Hawking ' A Brief History of TIME'. A Timepice. A clockwork. The best balance of TIME, QUALITY, and AVAILABILITY to many consumers around the globe. and there is MORE. Larger than life.

You can take our land but you'll never take our liquor.
Can't make out a word of what the distillery staff is saying. Wish there were subtitles
Wheest mun
Och!
Can't understand your writing when you forget full stops at the end of sentences, put full stops where they don't belong, put 'is' when it should be 'are', should be I wish not just wish, and forgetting to put capital letters for name of places such as, Distillery.
@@lizgraham9986 Yes you can.....stop being a fool. Plus distillery is correct, it doesn't need a capital letter as it's not a place. Tut tut failed by your higher greatness😅😅😅😅
@@lizgraham9986 Wow! Feels like I'm being hauled up by my grammar teacher!
But did you manage to understand my comment, liz ji?

I downed 2 bottles of Glenfiddich 18. Good stuff.
Is that sumerian letter ?? In your pic ??

What is the best whiskey I want drink in some vacations in few days ? 😕⚘
5:00 100,000 bottles per DAY?! That can't be accurate. Maybe 100,000 per month.
No. A day. You have to remember they sit for over 18 years some of them.
You are right ! They produce a little over 1 million litres a year which is even mentioned on their site .
@@thedarkside3178 I take it you've been round the glenfidich factory on one of their open days? You can count the production yourself. I live in the uk I drink single malts I visited the site, dont claim what you say is facts if you haven't visited mate.
The 18 year old is my personal fav. Love it.
🥃🙂👍🏻
