Alfred Chua, the managing director of The Wok People, ruminates on his life's milestones as well as his love for luxury timepieces and aged single malts
Time, Reimagined

For rare whiskies such as those in the Glenfiddich Time Re: Imagined collection decades are poured into the creation of the fine golden liquid. Time itself is a crucial ingredient in the exclusive collection, which comprises remarkable 30‑, 40‑ and 50‑year‑old single malt whiskies of exceptional richness and character that is the height of Glenfiddich’s signature distillery style.

These prized aged whiskies are the cumulative fruits of generational wisdom and experience. Since the 1960s, precious casks of Scotch have been patiently tended to by the whisky maker’s dedicated Malt Masters as they mature. Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s current long‑serving Malt Master, explains that “each cask, each bottle, is absolutely unique because of the time it has spent maturing. Both nature and time play huge roles in making whisky taste like it does and the Time Re:Imagined collection pays homage to this process and the exquisite liquid it helps to create.”

The Time Re:Imagined bottles are housed in bespoke artwork casings by computational designer Manuel Jiménez García, who articulated the passage of time through avant‑garde sculptural forms. The Glenfiddich 30 Year Old Suspended Time, for example, embodies its titular concept by seemingly floating in its case, whereas the jesmonite case in which the Glenfiddich 40 Year Old Cumulative Time sits features bold grooves that expose the marbling within, evoking geological metamorphosis.
