There is something of the “celestial” about the idea of Eternity. Perhaps it is the connection with space and the thought that there are stars beyond the stars we can’t see.
The artists from Taiwan have been a constellation of stars in the Artists in Residence programme at the Glenfiddich Distillery over the last twelve years.
From the start, the energy, inventiveness, and artistry have been of a wonderful standard, which has set an example for the artists who come to the Glenfiddich Distillery every year from all over the world. The continuity of the connections has meant that there is a well formed body of knowledge that enables the latest artist to be better prepared, and it also has allowed artists who have been to Scotland to reconnect with their own experiences.
In our world of Single Malt Scotch whisky, we know that it takes twelve years before our Signature Glenfiddich reaches a state of balance and complexity that we think is just right. I think this has been the same for the Taiwan Constellation.
Thank you – one and all.
