A Little Something Spirited, With Glenfiddich And Rajesh Pratap Singh

EXPRESSION. THAT’S PERHAPS THE BEST WORD to describe the festive collaboration between Glenfiddich, the pioneering single malt Scotch whisky brand, and celebrated Indian designer Rajesh Pratap Singh.

The two have come together to launch a limited-edition festive gifting collection in India, spanning Glenfiddich’s 12, 15 and 18-Year-Old expressions. The collaboration reimagines luxury whisky gifting through a collection of thoughtfully designed accessories such as pocket squares, brooches and buttons.

“At Glenfiddich, our pioneering spirit has always been rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship and an instinct to innovate. Our collaboration with Rajesh Pratap Singh is two big brands in the world of luxury coming together to create something magical,” says Kartik Mohindra, Managing Director, William Grant & Sons India. “By moving beyond conventional gifting formats to create something distinctive, considered and enduring, we are extending the Glenfiddich experience beyond the whisky itself. It reflects our belief that true luxury lies not just in what you give, but in the thought, craft and meaning behind it.”

Bringing together Glenfiddich’s Scottish heritage and Singh’s contemporary Indian design sensibility, the collection features objects that seamlessly fit into any gentleman’s everyday repertoire.

The Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old gifting pack features a specially designed pocket square, in 10 distinct designs. The Glenfiddich 15-Year-Old-edition pairs a pocket square with a stag brooch, while the 18-Year-Old edition features a specially designed button set.

Each accessory translates Glenfiddich’s craftsmanship into personal style, while the packaging brings together the brand’s iconic stag and distillery imagery with festive gold motifs. Look closely and you’ll see Singh’s bold use of animal prints and motifs, including the Indian tiger, sit alongside the Glenfiddich stag, a symbol of Scottish pride and guardianship.

For Rajesh Pratap Singh this was another opportunity to design something new and of consequence. “What drew me to Glenfiddich was its ability to honour generations of heritage while continually pushing the boundaries of its craft. That pioneering spirit resonates deeply with my own approach to design,” says Singh. “The process was about translating our shared pursuit of precision and mastery into something tangible, paying attention to the materials, construction and details that give an object its character. The result brings two distinct worlds together through a common philosophy, creating pieces that carry the spirit of the collaboration beyond the festive occasion.”

A good whisky is a must in every connoisseur’s repertoire, but so is a sharp pocket square or a brooch that adds another dimension to one’s outfit. The collaboration between Glenfiddich and Rajesh Pratap Singh is testament to the fact that heritage and modern luxury can be celebrated in more ways than one. It’s just a matter of finding the right expression.
