Glenfiddich launches Perpetual Collection pop-up
Rendering of the pop-up
To celebrate the launch of its new Perpetual Collection exclusive to global travel retail, Glenfiddich is announcing its first in-person experience at major airports around the world.
The Perpetual Collection is a range of four whiskies in perpetual motion, within Vats that have never been emptied. Using Glenfiddich’s pioneering Solera Vat process, each successive Vat fill is a new generation of whisky building on the past, increasing in character, dimension and complexity, giving consumers a unique experience with every sip. "A whisky that never sits still," as the brand describes it.
Global travelers are invited to step inside Glenfiddich’s Perpetual Collection immersive pop-up and dive into an enriching experience. A chance to stop, relax and explore the four-piece collection, elevating their knowledge of the whiskies and enjoying a moment of pause away from the airports’ hustle and bustle.
As each guest enters and travels through the space, their movement is captured by motion-sensors and projected in waves of color onto a digital screen. By doing so, they participate in a unique piece of constantly evolving generative art, mimicking the pioneering Solera Vat process by which the whisky is made.
Guided by a brand ambassador at the tasting bar, curious travelers can then uncover the four expressions in a tasting ritual. Here, they can be matched with their favorite expression, providing a truly personalized memento from their travels.
For those looking for the perfect gift, the personalized gifting service allows the consumer to record or write a memorable message which is added to their chosen bottle via a QR code.
Designed with travelers in mind, each expression takes imbibers on a different journey with its unique flavor pattern:
- Vat 01 (ABV 40%) – Elegant and smooth, this expression uniquely layers sweet and spicy notes, with hints of creamy vanilla and subtle oak, for a soft and mellow taste with added depth due to its maturation in bourbon and red wine casks
- Vat 02 (ABV 43%) - Mellow yet complex, with hints of rich fruit and subtle spice. Double matured in oak and Spanish sherry casks, this rich single malt delivers a deliciously smooth taste
- Vat 03 (ABV 50.2% - non-chill filtered) - Elevated over 15 years of maturation in European oak sherry and ex-bourbon casks, this full-bodied whisky harmoniously combines warm notes of spice with hints of nutty marzipan and dark sherry oak. A satisfyingly rich and sweet Glenfiddich
- VAT 04 (ABV 47.8% - non-chill filtered) - Warming and refined. Patiently aged in Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks for 18 years, VAT 4 delivers a deep, rich aroma of robust oak, ripe orchard fruit and baked apple. A luxuriously fruity and exceptionally rewarding Glenfiddich
Lindsay Hitzeroth, Head of Customer Marketing Global Travel Retail at William Grant & Sons, says, "The time spent at the airport is that exciting moment where the adventure starts; and so we wanted to give those flying something special to enhance their experience and remind them of their travels. The Perpetual Collection offers travellers a unique moment of enjoyment to capture their life that never stands still."
The Glenfiddich pop-up experiences will be live at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (October 1 to 31), Singapore’s Changi Airport (September 27 to October 31) and Miami’s International Airport (December 8 to January 5, 2023), to name a few.
