Glenfiddich Experimental Series Project XX - 70cl 47%

Creation of Glenfiddich's Project XX required twenty of the industry's most exceptional minds coming together to create a truly unique, pioneering expression. With its deep golden hue, Project XX embodies the warm, fruity character of a classic Glenfiddich with hints of apple blossom, summer fruits and ripe pear. But its multiple personalities are revealed with hints of sweet candyfloss, cinnamon spice, almonds and rich port tannins with the odd whisper of liquorice. Deep and mellow, the finish is long lasting with a lingering sweet oakiness. The Project XX experiment was so shrouded in secrecy that the whisky experts taking part didnt even know about it until half way through the process. Given free reign of our Conval Warehouse, each expert chose a malt which most intrigued them, including whiskies from port pipes, American oak, and bourbon barrels.   Nose: Classic fruitiness with hints of apple blossom and plump peat. A perfect balance of rich vanilla oak with golden sugar and a touch of liquorice Palate: Deep and mellow, the candyfloss sweetness is complemented by unusual notes of toasted almonds and cinnamon and a hint of crisp tannin. Finish: Crisp, refreshing and extremely well balanced.
