Comprising the Gran Reserva, Grand Cru and Grande Couronne, the Glenfiddich Grand Series is made to elevate celebrations, as its magnificent debut in Kuala Lumpur can testify
The Glenfiddich Grand Series, comprising the Gran Reserva, Grand Cru and Grande Couronne, are a range of high aged single malt whiskies made to mark special occasions.
A spectacular gala was held for the launch of the range last week, which took place in Menara Ken TTDI, and saw the space decked out to the nines, to mirror the opulence and elegance of the Glenfiddich Grand Series. The event was hosted by Brett Bayly, Glenfiddich’s Southeast Asia brand ambassador alongside friends of the brand and members of media. Guests were treated to a luxurious experience featuring a pairing dinner crafted by chef Lroy Lim of W Hotel's Willow Kuala Lumpur.
Upon arrival, we were astounded by the level of detail and finery that went into enlivening the space. To begin, we were treated with a Glenfiddich 18-year-old, foretelling the even more luxurious whiskies that awaited.
Guests mingled and enjoyed a number of performances before the exciting unveiling of the Gran Reserva, Grand Cru and Grande Couronne featuring models in unconventional costumes and the iconic Glenfiddich stag.
Finally, we got to taste the Glenfiddich Grand Series at dinner, and we truly cherished every drop.
"At Glenfiddich, we believe that grand occasions deserve grand celebrations. Combining a time-honoured vision with the maverick spirit and determination to blaze new trails, the Glenfiddich Grand Series is a celebration of the extraordinary. From unexpected cask finishes of Caribbean rum to French cuvée and cognac casks, the Grand Series showcases our ability to experiment with aged liquid and intriguing finishes – bringing together luxury and traditional worlds in an unexpected marriage and elevating ordinary occasions to offer a true taste of opulence." shared Southeast Asia brand ambassador for Glenfiddich, Brett Bayly.
