Aberlour puts
its crafted quality under the lens with
Ted dwane's photography exhibition.
 Aberlour
has brought its artisanship and craft to
life by linking up with up-and-coming
photographer and bassist for the
world-famous band, Mumford & Sons, Ted
Dwane, as the exclusive partner for his
inaugural solo photography exhibition,
‘A Show of Faces’, that featured in
Shoreditch, London earlier this month.
Dwane, who already has a keen interest
in single malt, takes a unique and
intricately crafted approach to
photography using hand-developed single
edition prints that provide layers of
contrast, and remain the unique and only
result of the photo. This approach
strongly mirrors Aberlour’s reputation
for crafting a malt of superlative
quality and careful curation of
ex-sherry casks to provide the rich and
intense sherry-cask influence to its
range of single malts. When Dwane was
planning his first show, ‘A Show of
Faces’, it provided the perfect platform
for the two to join together.
Dwane’s exhibition is a curation of
emotive portraits of people he has met
and photographed during his time on the
road with his band, Mumford & Sons,
alongside enigmatic and intriguing faces
of visitors shot live during the
exhibition, using a unique, hand-built,
large-scale camera and darkroom. Dwane
then interviews his subject in a
specially-created lounge in the studio,
over a glass of Aberlour, and collects a
few sentences from their conversation in
a book that correlates to the grid of
faces.
The partnership celebrates an
appreciation for authenticity, craft and
enigmatic quality. The attention to
detail required by both the photographer
and the master distiller, in their
mutual quest for a product of depth and
intrigue, culminates in a multi-layered
result, whether it be a velvety smooth
single malt or a single edition
hand-developed printed portrait.
The exhibition opened on 16th November
with a launch party where Aberlour was
served to over 100 guests from London’s
creative community.
Nikki Burgess, International Brand
Director for Aberlour, comments:
"Aberlour has long been held in
exceptional regard amongst malt whisky
enthusiasts. Partnering with such a
passionate photographer as Ted is a
great way for us to celebrate skill,
precision and dedication that we believe
has always been employed at the Aberlour
distillery to make the range a favourite
amongst connoisseurs of the finest
Scotch whisky."
