SO, GET INSPIRED. GET CREATIVE. GET READY. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN SCOTLAND. 2016 WINNER: "Heritage and Roots," by Sous Chef John Taube and bartender Nathan O'Neill from NYC's NoMad Bar. A traditional Scottish cooking vessel containing a stew that celebrates the history of Speyside was paired with two Glenfiddich cocktails: first, a sous-vide application served at room temperature, then a second served over ice to accentuate acidity and fruit. 2016 FINALIST: From Arizona's Brian Goodwin, three Glenfiddich marques were paired with three desserts: 14YO with s'mores, 12YO with yuzu and green tea sorbet, and a 21YO with apple pie—all tied together by a cloche filled with caramel smoke from a tobacco blend called Gold Rush.
