Glenfiddich Orchard

A tremendous addition to the Experimental Series from Glenfiddich, combining the influences of Scotland and Somerset! This single malt has been finished in casks that previously held Somerset Pomona Spirit (a blend of apple cider brandy and apple juice) from the Somerset Cider Brandy Co.! This experiment came about after Glenfiddich's Malt Master Brian Kinsman paid a visit to the Somerset Cider Brandy Co. to meet with its Master Distiller Matilda Temperley. After a stroll around the vintage orchards, the idea was born, the casks were sent from Somerset to Scotland and filled with a core of delicious malt, before being left to ripen. Top stuff for sipping on a warm evening, perhaps after a nice glass of cider.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Crisp green apple peels, a whiff of vanilla, and some tart, zesty notes of fermented fruit to balance sweet buttery toffee.

Palate Packed with fruit – a host of pressed apples and hints of pear are followed up by zestier notes of orange and lemon peel. Spiced apple cake and a whiff of nutmeg bring warming spice.

Finish The apple cider notes carry through to the finish, with pressed juices and red orchard fruits tangling with gentle oak spice and creamy barley.

Not great
It looked Interesting but it didn't pay off. My son bought this for my birthday so I can't complain but it's really not great. Orchard? It really doesn't work in my opinion. It's too young and that is what really hits you, notwithstanding that apples are not what I'm looking for. Glenfiddich always seems to be the one for gifts from people who know absolutely nothing about whisky, simply because they've heard of it. I never buy it and this certainly wouldn't encourage me to do so.

A Good Experiment
There was a time when "soapy" was highly prized in the whisky world - the old days of FWP Bowmores and an old 'toshan I remember. So, yes, this is soapy - and that's a good thing, in my opinion. Light, crisp, fruity and soapy. It's not brilliant but it's a good, well-made whisky at a decent price and it offers something different so this is a reasonable score rather than the knee-jerk 1/5 or 5/5 that everyone else seems to give without thought.

Wow, there are some contrasting views
I love this. 100% Glenfiddich with just a hint of the apples from the barrels. Do not get all the negative reviews this is a decent malt with a hint of something different. To be applauded.

Would make a decent aftershave
First try was ok. Second, after a few weeks was awful. Soapy taste and smelled like perfume. I’ve always said there’s no such thing as a bad whisky but this proved me wrong.

Notes of nail polish remover...
I have to agree with the other reviews that this is unbelievably soapy. Its almost like drinking deoderant or something. I think there's no age statement so it must be basically moonshine - harsh with this really sour soapy after taste. Hard to believe it's 43% because I've had smoother drams at over 50. Not an experiment I'd encourage Glenfiddich to repeat....

Pears!!
Have enjoyed the experimental series (but missed icewine) and this is nice. I hate the emperors new clothes business of whiskey tasting and I just like a nice dram, but this actually tastes of something! 😂
The dram actually, clearly, tastes of the barrels it was finished in. Go buy in Sainsbury’s for £34 before it disappears!

Soapy pot-pourri, almost undrinkable
I have very much enjoyed standard Glenfiddich expressions and several of the other Experimental Series such as Project XX and Fire&Cane, but here the pleasant (but muted) nose and fruity first sip is then completely overwhelmed by an artificially-floral soapy pot-pourri flavour. Some tasters report having a good bottle and then a bad bottle like this, so perhaps it's a quality-control issue rather than by design, but mine is almost undrinkable.

Rough.
Not nice at all. Rough and unpleasant after taste. Suitable for use cocktails only. Avoid.
