Inbox is a weekly round up of whisky news and PR type material that has found its way in to our email inbox. Sadly, we cannot write full articles or do justice to every piece that we receive, so Inbox has been born! It will feature items from around the world of whisky and will be published by us each Friday. Within Inbox we will write a couple of lines about each press release/piece of news/PR event that we have received and provide links, where possible, for you to find out further information if you want to. So grab a dram and we hope that you enjoy ...______________________________________________________________
Glenfiddich – ‘One Day You Will …’ campaign launched
The famous Speyside distillery have announced a new advertising campaign that they believe is a departure from traditional single malt marketing and will strengthen the brand’s position as the world’s number one single malt whisky. The campaign is called One Day You Will … and encourages consumers to meet life’s exciting challenges. It will involve printed and filmed advertisements, including new cinema promos, and ties in with the recent Glenfiddich Explorers launch. More information will shortly be available on www.glenfiddich.co.uk.
Glenglassaugh - Manager's Legacy bottlings
The reborn Speyside distillery has proudly announced a new range of single cask bottlings named the Manager's Legacy. Four bottlings are being released to commemorate the work of the distillery's four managers between 1960 and 1986, when Glenglassaugh was closed. Each will be named after one of the four - Walter Grant, Bert Forsyth, Jim Cryle and Dod Cameron - and will be selected from the corresponding years of their tenures. The Jim Cryle and Dod Cameron are released in early November, with the other two following in early 2011. Check out www.glenglassaugh.com for more details.
