Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne Simon Berger

A special collaboration with renowned contemporary Swiss artist, Simon Berger.

Simon, represented by Gallery Artstübli in Basel, has a unique talent producing works with a hammer to create portraits in glass. Simon has expertly crafted five one-of-a-kind glass boxes that encase the whisky, exploring depth, perception and reflections, resulting in a series of portraits expertly carved into the glass that he believes convey the emotions of the Glenfiddich brand.

Only 5 bottles available, these five works of art have been exclusively paired with the Glenfiddich Grand Couronne to create unique collector's items which will be exclusively offered via Whisky Auctioneer.

Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne Mzukisi Mbane's

A collaboration with South African designer, Mzukisi Mbane. Mbane, famous for consistently paying homage to his African identity with his designs and celebrating femininity, shared that Imprint ZA’s reinterpretation of the Glenfiddich Grande Couronne filigree was influenced mainly by the brand’s concept of crowning the moment with Grande Couronne.

‘The filigree with gold lines represents my Nguni heritage, known for its geometric tribal prints and patterns. At the central point of the pattern is the crown, symbolised by women standing together, holding hands, and boldly wearing their natural hair in styles inspired by African tribes,’ he says.

Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne Eltipo

Belgian artist Eltipo grew up in the car bodyshop of his father. Where his curiosity towards techniques and materials grew. He became a designer, artist and craftsman in 2016 with a love for letters, typography and illustration.

Eltipo started his design with pencil and paper and later transferred it to the computer. ‘Art- and whiskymakers are very much alike’ he states. “Just like Glenfiddich, I feel a bit of an outsider wanting to be the best version of myself. We both combine traditional methods with modern day technology. We believe in our own vision and put in all our time, passion and knowledge. Only this way, we can create our own personal flavour.”

Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne Zainab Ashadu

the brand has partnered with Zainab Ashadu, a graduate from the London College Of Fashion and the founder of Zashadu (a Lagos-based sustainable luxury handbag maker). Zashadu’s focus is exploring the tension between quiet elegance and unabashed glamour, her works are made with locally processed materials while using traditional techniques passed down from generations through local artisans.Drawing inspiration from the new bottle design, the fashion influencer Zainab will interpret the works of Ayoola Gbolahan into custom-made leather designs reflecting the true Glenfiddich spirit of authenticity and innovation.

Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne Fung

As part of the collaboration, Glenfiddich and Crypto Fashion Week designer Fung, have launched a digital fashion collection named ‘The Filigree Aesthetic’.

The collection includes three NFT’s (non-fungible tokens), each inspired by the reimagined art pieces from three of The Grande Composition artists; Mzukisi Mbane from South Africa, Malwina Konopacka from Poland and David Aiu Servan-Schreiber from the UK. Each piece represents each artist’s “reinterpretation” of the Grande Couronne filigree using different mediums and materials. Fung added: “Digital wearables will be the next big thing within NFT, people will be able to utilise them within AR, VR, or metaverses. There’s a lot you can do digitally that can’t be achieved in real-life garments i.e. animated graphics, making materials glow or defy gravity.”

Glenfiddich 26 year old Grande Couronne David Aiu Servan-Schreiber

Glenfiddichis collaborating with contemporary artist David Aiu Servan-Schreiber to redesign the Grande Couronne bottle with a sleeve in gold filigree and emblematic crackles to symbolise the smoked wood grains of the finishing casks. Only 50 available, each signed by the artist. 

David is a contemporary artist, who explores an inside-out approach to envrionmental chellanges which inspires us to build a healthier relationship with planet Earth and take action. "My art is inspired by the natural world and the opposing forces that impact how we interact with it. When we reimagine the old with the new; or find imperfections in seemingly perfect things."

"This interpretation of the brilliant Grande Couronne is raw, unpredicatble and emotive."
