Project XX, an early addition to Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series, began as a whisky project led by the distillery’s 20 brand ambassadors. Each ambassador carefully chose a cask, and then master blender Brian Kinsman skillfully blended these selections to craft the blueprint for this 47% ABV, non-chill-filtered whisky. Comprising a blend of sherry casks, bourbon casks, and more, it boasts a flavorful profile rich in spices and depth.

• Tasting Notes by Billy Abbott (TWE)

  • Nose

    Barley sugar and lardy cake are followed by dry cinnamon and nutmeg notes. Then things get juicy, with pine needles, freshly peeled orange zest, lime jelly and hints of Haribo. Water adds in layers of fruity toffee.

  • Palate

    Chocolate-covered caramels, black pepper, orange cream and singed orange peel lead things, with milk-chocolate truffles and hazelnuts bringing up the rear. Water reveals the toffee from the nose on the palate as well as adding sweet stewed apples and sharp Granny Smiths.

  • Finish

    Dry and softly spicy to start, with sweet hints of digestive and shortbread biscuits building with butter and spice.

  • Comment

    A weighty and spicy dram with a wide range of well-integrated flavours – an expression of the characters of Glenfiddich’s excellent brand ambassadors.
