Is there anything you would rather be doing on a Tuesday afternoon at 2pm, while quarantined at home, than attend a Zoom party tasting of Glen Fiddich? And in good company? Not me; what a treat!
All participants received a care package with a bottle of Glenfiddich Original Twelve single malt scotch whisky (packaged in their newly designed bottle), 2 gorgeous Glenfiddich glasses, some cocktail recipes and a small bottle of Speyside Sandcastle cocktail (with a dried orange slice), pre-mixed by Revolver.
Our charming host, Glenfiddich National Ambassador Kenya, Mulunda Kombo, invited us to pour our pre-mixed cocktails into our new glasses, and add the dried orange slice and ice (if so desired) and swill the mixture around. The cocktail, with Glenfiddich 12, cherry liqueur, sweet Vermouth and passion fruit juice, was smooth and divine, just the right amount of sweetness. We then did a tasting of the malt whisky straight up in order to admire its colour and smell and the subtly of its taste.
We were also treated to a visit by the international brand ambassador who helped us with the proper pronunciation of Glenfiddich (not like itch, but more like fish).
Glenfiddich, is distilled by William Grant & Sons, Ltd. is an independent family-owned distiller headquartered in the United Kingdom and founded by William Grant in 1887. Today, the luxury spirits company is run by the fifth generation of his family and distils some of the world's leading brands of Scotch whisky.
Kenya is the first market on the African continent to roll out the striking new package design that pays homage to the whisky's origins in the Valley of the Deer. And the new bottle design really is gorgeous; its deep green makes you think of a verdant valley, the golden stag is proud and regal and the shape of the bottle evokes class.
You can find your bottle of Glenfiddich at any of these retail outlets in Nairobi: Carrefour (select outlets), Chandarana (select outlets), QuickMart and Naivas. Or you can have it delivered through your favourite e-commerce platform including Chap Chap.
