Last month I made the long, but exciting, trip to India to host the “Glenfiddich City Trail 2012” in cities across the southern part of the country.
In each location I hosted a tasting session, single malt master class and a bespoke gourmet dinner where dishes inspired by local cuisine were paired with rare Glenfiddich Malts. I am a great food lover, so didn’t need to be asked twice when the opportunity to do the trip came up!
Last month, I headed to Mexico, where I hosted a series of whisky tastings and dinners, plus an event to find our next Brand Ambassador for the region.
I recently caught up with an old friend and very important whisky connoisseur, Mahesh Patel.
It is fair to say that Mahesh’s great passion in life is whisky. A successful commercial real estate developer in Atlanta, Georgia, he is best known in whisky circles as the founder of the Universal Whisky Experience. An event for whisky aficionados, connoisseurs, and collectors, it is a great opportunity to attend master classes taught by brand leaders and sample some of the finest whisky from around the world.
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Mrs. Janet Sheed Roberts (neé Gordon) died peacefully at her home near the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown over the Easter weekend.
A busy period of travel continued as I headed to the beautiful quarter of Neve Tzedek in Tel Aviv, Israel towards the end of last month to promote the Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Madeira Cask Finish and also host a Burns' Night dinner for selected guests later on in the week.
