A 100 Years Encapsulated In Every Sip
Forbes Africa|December 2022 - January 2023
How do you sum up 100 years in one evening? Sounds impossible. But not for Glenfiddich, who have, in partnership with Proud Mary, launched South Africa's first 100 Club and Whiskey Vault.
A 100 Years Encapsulated In Every Sip

In business, it’s always about the ‘Three Ps’ – profit, people and planet. And for this experience, here’s another – Proud Mary. Nestled in the heart of Rosebank's foodie district, it’s a modern mid-century-inspired all-day eatery and wine bar that’s both pristine and opulent.

And adding to this experience is yet another P – no, not just the personalities Jezz Tibini and Maps Maponyane who are present, but rather the private collection of Glenfiddich, nestled in an exclusive vault.

The night is young and Proud Mary treats the palate to a range of tastes with a menu curated to pair perfectly with the world's most-awarded single-malt Scotch whiskey.

And Glenfiddich ambassador Jezz Tibini shows you exactly what it means to embrace, crown and celebrate the occasion.

“There is no right or wrong way of drinking whiskey,” Tibini smiles in the warmly-lit Glenfiddich Proud Mary room as the tasting begins with a 21-year-old spirit. “There is a recommended way.”
