Whiskies often mature for decades until they develop their perfect taste. As a result, whisky communication is mostly built around traditional images that celebrate the past. The Scottish whisky makers from Glenfiddich have always used revolutionary methods to produce their award-winning whiskies. To mark their pioneering spirit, we decided to look into the future instead.
A NEW PLATFORM: TASTE THE FUTURE
We launched a new creative platform: Taste the Future. Every year we will partner up with a maverick designer to answer a question: “What will the world look like in 12, 18, and 30 years when the whisky vatted this year has finished maturing?” – inspired by the ageing time of Glenfiddich's three most iconic single malts: the Glenfiddich 12 year old, 18 year old and 30 year old. Borre Akkersdijk, the founder of the innovative textile studio BYBORRE, took our challenge and created three visionary fashion items for 2035, 2041, and 2053.
