William Grant & Sons Launches Glenfiddich 50 Year Old
William Grant & Sons will make available this month a Glenfiddich 50 Year old single malt Scotch whisky in “extremely limited supply”. The product will be available on-premise in the U.S. at New York’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, Miami’s Fontainebleau hotel and the Peninsula hotel in Los Angeles. One bottle will also be offered at auction, although the price is as yet unspecified.
The hand-blown bottles are numbered and presented in hand-stitched, leather-bound cases, which were inspired by William Grant’s personal ledgers. American buyers will have the opportunity to bid for the sole bottle available for home purchase in the U.S. at a charity auction event, held simultaneously at the three hotels on December 7. These hotels will also be the only places where the whisky will be available by the glass, until the next batch is released in 2010.
Proceeds of the auction will go to Friends of Scotland, the charity founded by Sir Sean Connery, dedicated to “advancing contemporary Scottish causes in the U.S. via educational scholarships, and to benefit veterans of foreign wars.”
Interested bidders should contact 646-356-8350 to take part in the auction.
