INDIA. Mumbai Duty Free has been chosen as one of the select few airport retailers to sell a bottle of Glenfiddich 50yo. Just 50 bottles of the rare single malt have been released this year globally.
Glenfiddich 50yo is one of the rarest single malt expressions ever released by William Grant & Sons for the brand. It was first released in 2009 and since then just 50 bottles have been released each year, with the final 50 bottled in 2017.
The whisky, released in Glenfiddich’s 125th year, features a sterling silver bottle collar, designed by sixth generation silversmiths Thomas Fattorini.
The individually numbered, hand-blown bottles are set in hand-stitched, leather-bound cases, inspired by the personal ledgers of Glenfiddich’s pioneering forefather, William Grant. Inside the case is a leather-bound book that details the whisky’s history as well as the stories of the craftsmen who nurtured it.
William Grant & Sons Business Development Manager ISC Hardeep Sethi said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be offering Mumbai Duty Free customers the opportunity to purchase this incredible and unique whisky. Glenfiddich 50yo is a true expression of our heritage and the ultimate symbol of exclusivity. It epitomises the craftsmanship and credentials of the entire Glenfiddich portfolio, and we’re proud to be bringing this rare and precious whisky to India.”
Mumbai Duty Free CEO Manishi Sanwal added: “It’s an honour to be one of the few chosen airport retailers to list Glenfiddich 50yo, reflecting our ongoing commitment to deliver a unique offer to our customers while driving the ultra-premium spirits category. Our customers will be thrilled about this availability. We’re delighted to be partnering with William Grant & Sons to bring this incredible whisky to the store.”
