Pronounced "project twenty", this single malt was made in collaboration with the brand's 20 brand ambassadors who each selected a cask of their choosing to be vatted for this expression. Casks of Port pipes, Sherry butts, and first-fill bourbon were utilized in the maturation process of this mass collaboration of a project, released as part of Glenfiddich's Experimental Series. Non-chill-filtered and without stated age, it is bottled at 47% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"A classic Glenfiddich on the nose with loads of fresh fruits - apples, apricot and pears. A nice balance between creamy vanilla and oak follows before ending in delicate spices. On the palate, candied fruits appear, along with the oak and vanilla, but closely followed by cinnamon and roasted almonds. The finish is long and oaky."
