Iconic scotch whiskey brand Glenfiddich has unveiled a limited-edition Chinese New Year-themed version of its Gran Reserva 21-Year-Old Single Malt. The new expression arrives as a travel retail-exclusive, making it a unique collector's item.
The Lunar New Year-inspired gift pack was designed by renowned illustrator Rlon Wang. According to Glenfiddich, Wang's design, which features a colorful and richly detailed drawing, evokes “a world of good fortune and auspicious wonders.” The illustration features Glendfiddich's Royal Stag front and center surrounded by traditional Chinese imagery such as lanterns, lotus flowers, and a large soaring phoenix.
Bottled at 43.2% ABV (higher than its domestic market counterpart), the limited-edition expression is said to blend flavors from Scotland and the Caribbean, thanks to its rum cask finish.
