This Year`s Vintage Reserve

It’s an exciting time here in Dufftown as we’re busy preparing for the selection of this year’s Vintage Reserve. Rather than gathering a group of whisky fans together in Dufftown, we’ve decided to do something much more pioneering.
Brian Kinsman is only the sixth Malt Master in Glenfiddich’s long and distinguished history (the first was William Grant, who founded the distillery back in 1886) so we thought we’d do something special to commemorate his inaugural Vintage Reserve selection.
So, this year, we’ve handpicked some of the world’s most influential whisky bloggers to help Brian choose the 2010 Vintage Reserve via a live Twitter nosing and tasting.
On June 9th, between midday and 2pm GMT, Brian Kinsman will conduct Glenfiddich’s first ever ‘virtual’ Vintage Reserve selection – as an online panel of judges choose their favourite from four pre-selected casks, all of which date back to 1978.
With 2010 marking Glenfiddich’s first virtual selection panel as well as Brian Kinsman’s inaugural Vintage Reserve, this year will certainly be one to remember.
Follow the Twitter discussion live on this page or log onto www.twitter.com and follow #GlenfiddichVR between midday and 2pm GMT on June 9th.
