Glenfiddich is the world’s most-awarded whisky. However, a new generation of whisky drinkers needs more than that to champion the brand. We conceived “New Dawn” as a platform to collaborate with similar-minded mavericks across South East Asia. The three selected mavericks were taken on a tour to Glenfiddich’s home distillery to gather inspiration. After that, the mavericks returned to their home countries and created tangible objects and experiences to reimagine Glenfiddich’s spirit. Each of the collaborations was accompanied by an unveiling event and a film.
