To perfect the Grand Château, Glenfiddich didn’t just craft the luxurious spirit but also collaborated with renowned French artist André Saraiva, known for his iconic stick figure character, Mr. A. This character has charmed the streets of Paris and beyond. Saraiva’s bold and sophisticated style has added a vibrant touch to this very special whisky, featuring striking watercolours and a reimagined design that blends traditional elegance with contemporary flair. The packaging alone makes the whisky a collectable. With only 250 limited edition bottles available worldwide, this whisky is even more special.
While the packaging is a special element, nothing beats the spirit inside the bottle. The whisky is aged in American oak and then finished for nine years in Bordeaux red wine casks, bringing together the best of Speyside and Bordeaux. As a result, the whisky presents unexpected flavours on the nose—a warm embrace of vanilla with a hint of nuttiness. The first sip reveals a rich and complex taste with flavours of caramelised cherries and apples, accompanied by warming spices and toasted oak. The finish is deep, complex, and everlasting. This innovative finish in Bordeaux casks creates a rare and striking spirit that will keep you coming back for more.

It gave him a chance to bring together his love for whisky and his appreciation of Glenfiddich’s heritage.
