The second release in Glenfiddich's Experimental Series is their Project XX (pronounced 'twenty') expression, bringing together 20 Glenfiddich experts to create something eclectic and new. To be precise, 20 Glenfiddich brand ambassadors from 16 countries all over the world each picked a cask from the Glenfiddich warehouse. The 20 chosen whiskies were then married, and later recreated by Malt Master Brian Kinsman (partly by recipe - casks types, ages, volumes etc. - but partly through expert assessment of aroma and quality). It's a whisky that would never have come to exist any other way.
This smells like a bit of a beastie, lots of woody spicy notes, toffee and orange peel. Clearly some serious cask action going on here.
Lots of wood: cloves, cinnamon and vanilla with tingly wood tannins, all wrapped up with some sweet fudge notes.
Long and layered, with lingering notes of espresso and dark chocolate.
Very good I got this for my Dad and we loving it. Gotta try more.
Gifted a bottle of Project xx, loved the smooth mellow taste with a touch of sweetness on the tip if the tongue but be very wary of the 47 proof.
Truly special. Like silk as it glides down your throat - then the flavours come out - along with an angelic warm glow....
I really like this. It is extraordinary. Unlike any Glenfiddich you may have tasted before. This is a fun whisky, light and fruity, certainly pleasant. Good show.
Just tasting this for the first time and I am very impressed! Extremely complex and very smooth and rich, it's like a really good Christmas pudding in a glass. Just the thing to come home to after a 500 mile round trip.
