Calling all
bartenders, round three of The
Glenfiddich Festival Experiment is
coming and they say it is going to be
bigger, better and louder than ever.
Calling all bartenders, back by
popular demand, The Glenfiddich Festival
Experiment #3 is returning once again to
say thank you to the nation’s
bartenders. The UK’s largest festival
for the on-trade community will see
Glenfiddich open its distillery doors to
more than 1,200 members of the
hospitality industry from the UK, and
for the first time, to international
attendees.
The two-day festival which will take
place at the Glenfiddich Distillery,
Dufftown from Sunday 8th – Tuesday 10th
September, 2019 includes an all-star
line-up of music acts, with a debut
headline performance from the renowned
Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, as
well as Twin Atlantic making a return to
the festival for a third year, bringing
their unrivalled energy to the stage
again. From the Big Top to the Forest
Stage, the full line-up including a host
of up-and-coming Scottish talent will be
revealed on social channels in the run
up to the event.
The festival also opens its doors for
the first time to wider UK and
international guests, with bartenders
from the United States, Bulgaria,
Canada, Romania, Singapore and beyond
invited. The No. 1 single malt in both
Scotland and the UK has also rallied
global Glenfiddich Brand Ambassadors
from South Africa, Canada and the US to
fly to the brand’s spiritual home and
help host this now iconic celebration.
Year three brings more education than
ever for attendees, including a live Q&A
with Malt Master Brian Kinsman, who will
be lifting the lid on his role, the
brand and the industry. The festival
will also feature on-site coopering
demonstrations, immersive distillery
tours and tastings, as well as the usual
non-stop entertainment and live comedy
throughout.
Mark Thomson, Glenfiddich’s Ambassador
to Scotland, commented: "The on-trade
community has spoken, and we listened.
The Festival Experiment is back and we
are looking forward to celebrating and
thanking bartenders from not only
Scotland and the wider UK, but from all
four corners of the globe. It is going
to be a festival to remember, so if you
haven’t already signed up to get a
ticket – get in touch! The more the
merrier we say!"
Stephen Rutherford, Brand Manager at
Glenfiddich, added: "There was no other
option than to bring the festival back
for another year and, this time,
extending the invitation even further to
even more supporters. We’re so pleased
with the response we’ve received year on
year and look forward to hosting
everyone once again at our home in
Dufftown."
This year’s festival is open to members
of the on-trade from across Scotland,
the wider UK and select markets
worldwide. Anyone interested in
attending The Glenfiddich Festival
Experiment #3 should contact their local
William Grant & Sons UK representative.
