Glenfiddich takes us on a journey through time with their most awarded single malt scotch whisky’s newest collection.
After decades in the making, Glenfiddich unveiled an exquisite collection bound to be loved by collectors and whisky lovers alike. Taking us on a journey through time – past and present – the new launch comprises three coveted single malt whiskies matured for 30, 40, and 50 years.
“Decades in the making, the collection pays tribute to the unpredictable nature of time as each expression captures a fleeting moment in time which bridges the past with the present, bottled in a distinctive decanter that beautifully tells the stories of these single malts,” said Will Peacock, Head of Luxury at William Grant & Sons.
Made with mastery and refined by time, the Time Re: Imagined series bids an ode to Glenfiddich’s achievement in crafting whisky and its signature distillery style.
“Both nature and time play huge roles in making whisky taste like it does and Glenfiddich’s Time Re:Imagined collection pays homage to this process and the exquisite liquid it helps to create,” said Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master.
50 Year Old
This sought-after collector’s item takes whiskies from three different American oaks where it gets developed during different climate conditions, giving the whisky its unique taste. The 50-Year-Old liquid is a stunning portrayal of simultaneous time, exploring the parallel, complex conditions, and effects that have influenced the drink. The liquid gold has notes of orange peel, clementine, Madeira cake, and muscovado sugar, which give its lingering sweet taste. With smooth oak tannin and sun-dried vanilla, the finish is long-lasting, sweet and oaky. There are only 220 decanters of this precious liquid across the globe.
Adorned in a unique casing, the 50-year-old bottle depicts the climatic data that created the extraordinary whisky. Manuel Jimenez Garcia, a computational architect decrypted the meteorological data into an algorithm and generated a physical design language to create the bespoke bottle, which represented the years it took to create the gold liquid.
40 Year Old
The Glenfiddich 40-Year-Old has a dark mahogany hue with a deep layer of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and ripe black cherries as its notes. Complemented with a subtle wave of wood smoke, the taste of this whiskey is full, silky, and smooth. This bold drink has a complex, memorable, and exquisitely long-lasting finish that whiskey lovers will enjoy. The 40-Year-Old represents cumulative time, drawing attention to the layers of accumulated flavour within its liquid made possible through the remnant vatting process first pioneered by Glenfiddich.
The 40-year-old bottle takes on a geological metamorphosis when it came to the exterior packaging. The whisky is housed in a stunning sculptural container and stopper made from jesmonite. The bottle also features dramatic grooves carved into an innovative stone-like material that reveals intertwining veins – showcasing the evolution of one thing becoming another.
30 Year Old
The rich, bronze 30-Year-Old depicts the concept of suspended time, the moment when Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, stops the development of whiskey’s maturation, capturing a beautiful taste and showcasing the purest expression of the distiller’s character. Marrying subtle sherry notes with oak, the taste of the liquid is deep, woody, and floral. On top of that, it also has a deeply warm, honeyed finish that pays tribute to the intensity of the oak cask.
The exterior design for this 30-year-old bottle evokes the concept – suspended in time – through moving ribbons, each one frozen in time to form elegant cut-out windows, revealing the regal whisky inside. With dynamic lines and a complex structure, the bottle creates an illusion of time.
