Matching the perfect dram with food is, of course, crucial to enjoying your Burns Night. But choosing the right whisky for each course can sometimes be tricky, especially with so many single malts currently out there. So here are some of my ideas, both of food and drams, to help you celebrate Burns Night in full Glenfiddich style.
As you probably already know, most whiskies are not sold at 'cask strength’, but are typically diluted to between 40 and 46% ABV before being bottled. At Glenfiddich, our expressions are typically bottled at 40% ABV, although our Distillery Edition is bottled at 51% ABV for those looking to try something a bit different.
Here at Glenfiddich, we’re extremely lucky to have a highly talented team of dedicated Brand Ambassadors sharing their knowledge, passion and love of our whisky with people across all four corners of the globe.
We recently chatted to the newest addition to our team, Mark Thomson, to find out a little more about life as a Brand Ambassador for the UK and what his role entails…
As the UK Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich, I do a lot of travelling and, irrespective of the season, when I am in London you can guarantee the city’s busy Underground system will always be just a few degrees below that of a Caribbean summer.
The only salvation for me after a long stuffy journey home from work is to know there is something cold and refreshing waiting in the freezer at home.
Having recently unveiled our newly designed Glenfiddich 18 Year Old packaging in October and with Christmas just around the corner, now seems like the perfect time to talk to you about this exceptional single malt in a bit more detail, looking at its complex maturation process, new design and award-winning taste.
