The Glen Grant seizes the occasion of Art March to host a grand launch event at The Murray in Hong Kong, officially unveiling the first exquisite release from the Splendours Collection – The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky. This limited-edition whisky is exclusively released in just 151 bottles, inspired by the rare Himalayan blue poppy, symbolizing the distillery’s endless pursuit of exceptional craftsmanship. To celebrate the debut of this new masterpiece, The Glen Grant has specially invited the renowned post-digital art collective Random International to present a live painting performance titled “The Four Seasons” during Hong Kong Art Week, creating an immersive sensory experience that intertwines art and fine spirits.
The Splendours Collection draws its design inspiration from The Glen Grant distillery’s iconic “Garden of Splendours,” a historic garden cultivated by the brand’s founder, Major James Grant. This garden continues to bloom with a variety of rare flowers. The collection’s debut masterpiece, The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old Whisky, pays homage to the rare Himalayan Blue Poppy, showcasing the brand’s dedication to the beauty of nature. This exquisite spirit features a bottle designed collaboratively by John Galvin and Glasstorm, inspired by the Möbius strip, symbolizing the eternal cycle of nature. The bottle is intricately carved with blue poppies and crafted from rare woods found in the garden, perfectly blending the art of whisky-making with the beauty of the natural world.
To further embody the essence of the Splendours Collection, The Glen Grant has partnered with Random International to present a live art performance titled “The Four Seasons” during Hong Kong Art Week. This creation comes from the team’s Pixelography series, making its Asian debut, utilizing exclusive technology to transform digital data into hand-painted artworks, exploring a new relationship between the digital and the real. The artists will create 65 unique pieces across four events, symbolizing 65 years of rare maturation and the cyclical nature of the seasons. During the public exhibition, audiences can savor The Glen Grant whisky while enjoying the artists’ live creation on the lawn at The Elliott, experiencing the perfect blend of art and whisky. Additionally, Random International will hold an artist talk in The Elliott’s “Up Close” fireside chat series, sharing insights on their creative concepts and technical breakthroughs.
The Glen Grant 65-Year-Old whiskey is a limited edition release of only 151 bottles, each featuring a distinct number, showcasing the brand’s dedication to ultimate craftsmanship. This launch event is not just a whiskey tasting experience; it’s a stunning collision of art and craftsmanship, immersing guests in the intertwining world of The Glen Grant’s rich heritage and innovative techniques.
