Glenfiddich
Scotland
Single Malt
Part of Glenfiddich's Experimental Series comes a single malt which was finished for three months in casks which previously held IPA! Created collaboratively by Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman and IPA expert Seb Jones, the IPA which was in the casks before the whisky was specially brewed for this expression by the Speyside Craft Brewery. Bound to be a fascinating whisky for whisky and beer enthusiasts alike (and the cross-over of that Venn diagram, too).
Honey'd malt, jam tart (the kind with marmalade, specifically), pear drops.
Treacle and sponge cake. Spicy hop notes begin to take shape, followed by hints of bitter citrus peel.
Light oak, melted butter and coffee bean.

... Is Better and that is not good
I strongly recommend to test that unique soft flame of Glenfiddich!
Generally I quite like Glenfiddich, and the Glenfiddich 18 regularly appears in my cabinet. For this however, it was really not worth it - it was an interesting experiment but I would agree with some of the comments below, the taste isn’t great, and neither is it a “wow” whiskey. For the price point there are much better tasting whiskies.
I was surprised by how much I liked this. It's not the best whisky out there, but for £45 you can't expect it to be and for that price I think it's pretty good. Easy to drink, fairly smooth, and the flavour of the hops definitely comes through which makes it something interesting and a bit different to other bottles I've tried.
Smells amazing tastes amazing
