Glenfiddich 21 Year Old 2024 Chinese New Year Limited Edition
Created together with acclaimed artist Raku Inoue, this limited edition gift box design celebrates Spring and Lunar New Year. Our Glenfiddich stag comes to life petal by petal, leaf by leaf. Raku carefully pieced this intricate creation by hand, a worthy gift for blossoming futures.
Artist:
Born in Japan and based in Canada, Raku’s artistic journey led to his mastery of drawing, handcrafting and photography. This understanding of image composition has more recently developed his love of working with organic materials - including flowers, leaves, and numerous flora species.
Raku has applied his signature style to bring to life the Glenfiddich Lunar New Year limited editions, uniting the iconic Glenfiddich Stag with the magnificent Wood Dragon through his masterful lens. A legendary creature, Wood Dragons are born leaders, their spirits reminiscent of the Glenfiddich pioneers. As a native Earth element, wood personifies growth and the flowering of new life. In homage to this mythical creature, this year the Glenfiddich Stag has been inspired by the Wood Dragon – from the leaves of the forest, symbolizing an auspicious future in full bloom ahead.
Raku Inoue comments: "Lunar New Year represents growth and renewal, and what better symbol than nature. My aim was to take you on a journey to the great outdoors, harnessing some of the most magnificent elements. Fu Lu, the Glenfiddich Stag, is formed and crafted petal by petal, element by element from natural materials and fitting to this auspicious moment in time.”
