20 Minds, 20 Malts, One Unexpected Whisky

 

Glenfiddich Project XX embodies the pioneering spirit of the Experimental Series, challenging the conventions of traditional whisky crafting. Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, orchestrated an unprecedented experiment involving 20 whisky experts from 16 different countries, each bringing their unique palate and preferences to the heart of Scotland’s Speyside.

 

A Conclave of Experts

 

Invited to the historic Conval Warehouse at Glenfiddich’s Dufftown distillery, these experts were given carte blanche to select any cask that piqued their interest. This selection process was as diverse as it was meticulous, with choices ranging from venerable port pipes and sherry butts to virgin oak bourbon casks, encapsulating a spectrum of ages, flavors, and stories.

 

Crafting the Blend

 

The culmination of this journey is Project XX, a vatting of 20 exceptional single malts handpicked for their distinctive characters. This blend, a testament to collaboration and collective expertise, showcases a complexity that is greater than the sum of its parts. Project XX is not just a whisky; it’s a many malt symphony.

 

Tasting Notes

 

  • Nose: Opens with classic Glenfiddich fruitiness; apple blossom, summer fruits, and ripe pear blend with oak influences, creamy vanilla, barley sugar, and subtle spices including a hint of liquorice.
  • Taste: A sophisticated palate of candy floss sweetness balanced with rich vanilla oakiness, toasted almonds, and cinnamon spice, unfolding into crisp tannins.
  • Finish: The finish is extensive and satisfying, featuring a persistent sweet oakiness that invites you back for more.

Project XX is more than a whisky; it's a journey into the art of whisky-making, inviting enthusiasts to explore its deep gold color and layered flavors. Each sip reveals new facets, from warm summer fruits to intricate spice, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate complexity and innovation.
