As the purveyor of the best-selling and most-awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky, it’s in Glenfiddich’s DNA to challenge itself and push the boundaries of whisky making. The Grand Château is a testament to the experimental spirit. Part of the Glenfiddich Grand Series, the collection celebrates the unexpected collision between single malt and cultures from around the world, offering a sip of its time-honoured legacy reinterpreted through refreshing new tastes.

Marking the first creation crafted in Bordeaux red wine casks,  the 31-Year-Old Grand Château showcases Glenfiddich’s trailblazing attitude in creating one-of-a-kind whisky. The limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky is first matured in American oak before being finished for an extended nine years in exceptional red wine casks from Bordeaux region, which impart new and unconventional flavour to the tastefully crafted whisky. The result? A delicious blend of earthy and floral notes, brimming with an irresistible burst of cherry, apple, spice and oak.

To make the collaboration truly collectible, Glenfiddich has enlisted street artist André Saraiva to dream up a striking packaging specially for this limited-edition whisky. Featuring a Toile De Jouy print, Saraiva gives the pastoral print a modern twist, bringing “The Artist’s Edition” to life with his signature “Mr A” character splashed in bright colours.

On the collaboration,  Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman shared, “Bordeaux red wine casks are incredibly versatile sources of flavour and recognised widely for their outstanding quality, providing the perfect opportunity for experimentation to develop a profound spirit. Nine years spent cocooned in these extraordinary Bordeaux red wine casks results in an exceptionally vibrant liquid which intensifies Glenfiddich’s classic fruity character balanced somewhat unusually with notes of deep oak and warming vanilla.”
