Production
The kit, where a primary source publishes it. Where a figure is missing it is because no producer publishes one — the secondary spread on distillery capacity reaches fivefold, so we would rather show nothing than pick a number.

On the heat source
OLD STILL HOUSE ONLY, gas fired. The still house added in 2020 is steam heated — the most routinely omitted fact about Glenfiddich's kit.

The 2020 still house took the total to 43 stills and capacity from 13m to 21m LPA. Washbacks had already doubled from 24 to 48, and mash tuns doubled to four, in 2019.
