Capturing the Spirit

Last year, Glenfiddich introduced its ultra-rare Time Re:Imagined collection, which featured three luxurious releases from the maison—Glenfiddich 50-Year-Old Simultaneous Time, 40-Year-Old Cumulative Time, and 30-Year-Old Suspended Time. It’s a remarkable collection of single malt whiskies that marks the height of Glenfiddich’s achievement in whisky-making and represents the pinnacle of Glenfiddich’s signature distillery style.

Manuel Jimenez García, the co-founder and principal of mad-Mdesign, a computational design practice based in London, was the brilliant mind behind the design for the decanter of the prized Glenfiddich 50-Year-Old Simultaneous Time. With only 220 decanters of this precious liquid made available, he was tasked to ensure that its design was absolutely exquisite.

We find out more about Garcia and his process in designing the beautiful decanter.
