The result is two new whiskies. One is an IPA cask-finished single malt, and the other is an ambassador crowd-source whisky aimed the connoisseur. Glenfiddich IPA Experiment is a No Age Statement whisky finished for just 3 months in casks that had held an IPA beer created by the nearby Speyside Craft Brewery. The ale itself was created using British Challenger hops for its fruity flavours, and which would in theory go well with the Glenfiddich’s inherent fruitiness. Whiskybase B.V.

This Speyside single malt whisky is the best single malt whisky in the world. It received multiple awards at the International Spirits Challenge. The XX stands for 20, representing the 20 ambassadors that took part and the thumbprint on the bottle is an amalgamation of the twenty ambassadors’ thumbprints.

Update June 2017: I tasted a second bottle of Project XX and found this bottle to be significantly smokier than the original, with a pronounced decrease in sherry character, without so much of the sweet citrus on the nose. In its stead I found aromas of almonds, tea leaf, baked apples, and gentle baking spices. The palate is also sherry-restrained, though here more citrus notes make themselves known — though with more of a lime influence than an orange one. It’s a curiosity that shows how different one bottle can be from the next, and unfortunately a step down to around a B+. Seb finished the tasting of the Glenfiddich IPA by saying that for him it was an “exciting project to be a part of, [I] learned a lot about whisky science and hope that Brian learned that some beers are good.” [Cue: laughter] Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. I find this a confusion dram. It is as if it is trying to be too many things. It is an unusual concept and makes for great publicity and an interesting story. The bottle is beautiful and classic. However, the spirit in the bottle is trying to be too many things all at once. For me, it is a riot of unbalanced flavours. I found it stuffy and dusty with very few of the beautiful sweet fruit notes that Glenfiddich is known for. NOSE: Ripe Golden Delicious apples, dark stone fruits and spice with hints of fresh flowers. Some vanilla and oak are floating about. Not the most complex nose.During the beginning of 2018, I tasted the Glenfiddich IPA Cask whisky and wrote my own tasting notes about it. This release was the first in Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series and I loved it. The second release in this series is the Glenfiddich XX whisky and many people had opinions about this release.

Translating to 'valley of the deer' in Scottish Gaelic, Glenfiddich distillery is one the oldest family-owned whisky companies in Scotland. A colossus in the whisky industry, Glenfiddich was established by William Grant in 1876 and had the first spirit running off its stills in 1886. Today the company is still run by his descendants, and as the first brand to truly market itself as a single malt whisky , Glenfiddich now accounts for approximately 30% of all single malt sales worldwide. Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman In summary; two superb releases that visually look incredible (look out for a whole article dedicated to Glenfiddich’s bottle designs coming soon to GreatDrams) and taste brilliant… all at surprisingly fair prices (see below). Interestingly, both Glenfiddich IPA and Glenfiddich Project XX will be permanent additions to the Glenfiddich range, they are not limited editions.
