Inspired by a photograph of the Glenfiddich Distillery.
The whiskey used to paint is Glenfiddich 12 years, Single Malt.

Grant Gordon always attached great importance to barrels for the production of exceptional whiskeys.
For this reason, shortly after bringing several copper artisans to the distillery, in 1959 he built a cooperage on purpose.
Today, Glenfiddich is one of the few distilleries that maintains its cooperage on site.
One of the oldest jobs in the world, the cooper's job is tough, and almost 65% of whiskey aromas and flavors come from barrels.
