On June 23, 2020, Glenfiddich whisky made history by launching a brand new bottle design, the first of its kind in over 50 years. The online launch was a hit, with influencers and enthusiasts alike getting to experience the new design and a special cocktail created for the occasion.
The Glenfiddich 12 Year, Cherry Liqueur, Sweet Vermouth, and passion fruit juice cocktail, known as the Speyside Sandcastle, was a delightful combination of flavors that left a lasting impression. The new bottle design, with its tround shape, was also a topic of interest, with brand ambassador Mulunda Kombo explaining that it was a combination of a circular and triangular shape.
Here are some key facts about Glenfiddich whisky:
