Tasting Notes

Nose

Ripe golden delicious apples, dark stone fruits, apple blossom, fresh flowers, spice — complex and fruity

Palate

Plump pear, rich vanilla oak, golden sugar, liquorice, dried citrus, cinnamon — 20 casks creating unexpected richness

Finish

Candyfloss sweetness, toasted almonds, crisp tannin — medium-long, the collaboration evident

First Impressions

Glenfiddich Project XX — 20 ambassadors, 20 casks, vatted together. Experimental Series. 47%, non-chill filtered.

Tasting

Apple blossom nose. Pear and vanilla palate with liquorice. Candyfloss and almond finish. Divisive but interesting.

The Verdict

Project XX earns a 7 — an interesting collaborative experiment at £50. The 20 cask types create unexpected complexity, though some find it muddled. Worth trying.
