    Currently working up in the Highlands, so something topical.....

    Why is Glenfiddich sold in triangular bottles?

    Simply as a marketing ploy - to be distinctive/different, and easily ordered by people who couldn’t remember/pronounce Glenfiddich.

    I seem to remember that Glenfiddich was the first single malt to be marketed internationally.

    The triangular shaped bottle was designed in 1961, probably as a bit of a marketing ploy, but that is not the ethos behind the shape.....

    Their marketing boys clearly didn’t know how scotch is made.....

    Why is this building significant?
