With the festive season fast approaching, Glenfiddich has partnered with artist Raku Inoue for a limited-edition whisky collaboration. The collection features Glenfiddich’s flagship 12, 15, and 18-Year-Old expressions, adorned with Inoue’s bespoke designs, making them a gift for whisky lovers and art collectors alike.
To elevate the gifting experience, Glenfiddich is offering a bespoke personalisation service through its online boutique in the UK. Customers can customise a label for their bottle, making it a truly unique present for loved ones.
Born in Japan and based in Canada, Raku Inoue is celebrated for his intricate, nature-inspired designs crafted from organic materials like flowers and leaves. Here he has reimagined Glenfiddich’s iconic stag, presenting it in floral and natural motifs, said to capture the essence of the brand’s connection to the great outdoors.
“My aim was to take you on a journey to the great outdoors, harnessing some of the most magnificent elements,” said Inoue. “The Glenfiddich Stag is formed petal by petal, mirroring the time-honoured craftsmanship behind these exceptional whiskies.”
So what can buyers expect of the whiskies themselves? Here comes the tasting notes…

Glenfiddich 12 Year Old, £42.50
Aged in American and European oak casks, this golden expression is described as fresh and fruity, with distinct pear notes. On the palate it’s sweet and mellow, with hints of butterscotch and oak.
Born of the Solera Vat process, this dram is a product of sherry, new oak, and bourbon casks, giving it a golden hue with a hint of red. On the nose it’s complex and aromatic, with heather honey, vanilla fudge, and rich dark fruits. Luxuriously smooth, expect layers of spice, sherry sweetness, and a lingering finish.
Aged in a combination of Spanish Oloroso and American oak casks, for additional depth and complexity, this expression is dark gold, with aromatic orchard fruits, baked apple, and robust oak on the nose. The palate is said to be full-bodied with dried fruit, toffee, with warming spice.
The Gift for Blossoming Futures collection is available at Glenfiddich.com and across most major UK retailers while stocks last.
