SUSPENDED TIME
I grew an appreciation for scotch after going to a whisky festival and tasting whisky from nearly every maker in attendance. I was riveted by the nuances that came through with each expression and learnt that they are from both regional influences and the makers' craft. Now as a regular whisky drinker, I continue to appreciate every dram for its artistry and loath to simply equate an age statement with a bottle's quality.
That's not to say I don't respect the passage of time, or experience and heritage. When I was told the 30-Year-Old Time Re:Imagined embodies the moment Glenfiddich's Malt Master suspended the development of the whisky to capture his vision for a specific balance of spirit and maturation, I thought of my favourite timepiece, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1. FerdinandA. Lange made pocketwatches coveted by collectors all over the world, but his company was expropriated during WWII. It was his great-grandson that brought the family watchmaking tradition back to life with four watches in 1994, including the Lange 1, now a modern icon.
