The Critics
Summary
Glenfiddich Project XX is part of the distillery's Experimental Series, showcasing innovative approaches to whisky making. This particular expression is a collaborative effort, involving 20 whisky experts from around the world who each selected a cask to be included in the final blend. The result is a complex and multi-layered single malt that offers a unique tasting experience, reflecting the diverse palates and preferences of the contributors.
The whisky is matured in a combination of American oak, sherry, and bourbon casks, which impart a rich and varied flavor profile. The nose is inviting, with notes of ripe fruits, sweet vanilla, and a hint of oak. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice, with layers of fruitiness and a touch of nuttiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a warm, lingering impression.
This expression is ideal for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers, offering a well-rounded and approachable profile that still provides depth and complexity.
