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.

The Glenfiddich Distillery tour was so informative and fun! The guide was really knowledgeable and showed us the on-site bottling area even though it was closed during our Sunday tour. The tour lasted about two hours and culminated in a tasting of four different whisky varieties. Advanced booking is recommended.

Came to Scotland to visit a distillery, we've picked Glenfiddich, and the experience was very interesting for us! Nice people, very passionate and sweet with the group. That was a true pleasure to see all the process and to have a taste on the brand's products!

Despite not being a big Whisky fan I thought the Glenfiddich Distillery was outstanding, so much so that I went twice!! I especially loved the story behind this brand which makes the experience feel personal and engaging. Of course, as one of the larger brands, it can be quite busy with tourists, but i don’t think this had an impact on the experience; although if I went again I would aim for non-peak season. The shop is also a must visit. There are a great variety of products, including for those who don’t necessarily just want to buy a bottle of whisky. I can’t wait to go back - five stars.

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.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
