Glenfiddich Experimental Series #2 - Project XX Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling)
Out of stock
The second experiment of an ongoing series took place privately at the Glenfiddich Conval warehouse. Shrouded in secrecy, malt Master Brian Kinsman invited 20 whisky experts from around the world to select any expression of their choosing from the thousands of stacked casks.
The final 20 chosen malts, matured in everything from port pipes to virgin bourbon barrels, have created an unusual, innovative and unexpected whisky, one that has exceeded even our expectations.
“I wanted to create an unexpected whisky. Traditionally every malt whisky is chosen and vatted by one Malt Master to their taste, but what if there were 20 Malt Masters? It was an experiment in whisky personality.”‒ Malt Master Brian Kinsman
Deep gold in colour, Project XX has the warm summer fruity character of a classic Glenfiddich but then multiple personalities are revealed as the flavour of sweet cinnamon spice, almonds and rich port tannins kick in with the odd hint of liquorice.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep gold
Nose
Warm summer fruit aromas at the core, evolving into spiced cinnamon, roasted almonds, and a whisper of port-driven richness, with a delicate note of liquorice.
Palate
Opulent and multilayered on the palate, it unfurls with warm, sunlit fruit sweetness that dissolves into cinnamon-spice and almonds. Rich port-tannin depth adds structure and a velvety grip, while a sly lick of liquorice links the notes with a persistent, nuanced finish.
Finish
Long, warm finish with cinnamon spice fading into almond sweetness, carried by port tannins that linger, and a final whisper of liquorice.
