Glenfiddich Project XX

Chestnuts, green apples and a long, tartly lemon finish. Really quite good.

I've bought a few of these, my local bottle shop is swimming in them so they're all for me...gotta love Australia at times. Having said that at like $145 a bottle It's up there for what it is but hey it does taste good. Worth trying.

My favorite Glenfiddich so far. Apparently, Glenfiddich took 20 casks and married them together. 17 were from bourbon barrels, 2 from sherry, and 1 from port. Balvenie did something like this, under then Tun 1409 series, but priced it about 10x as much as this one. So...unfortunately, I only had a sample of this, along with a sample of their IPA casks. I felt the IPA cask was just too strong with a beer taste, while this was really well engineered. When I went to look for a full bottle to buy, it was sold out. Plenty of the IPA ones available...go figure. The nose is the best part in this---summer in a bottle. Light, fresh, airy, with plenty of orchard fruits. Mouth is rich and viscous, with light spices like cinnamon, but heavy on vanilla and honey. More of that summer in a bottle. If you do happen to see one...grab it. Really well made, and quite reasonably priced. My sample was a mere $4, and the bottle itself was $48.
