I have finally tasted the 3 experimental series bottles of Glenfiddich. This "experiment No. 2" is a whisky made allegedly by 20 brand ambassadors, each one allegedly picked one cask of the distillery and they have blend them all.
Bottled at 47%abv
Well, this is a very interesting dram. My nosing notes are: foam (carnival foam, the one kids throw on each other, comes in cans), brown sugar, apples, prunes, impalpable sugar. So many nose profiles due to the mixture of may casks. A very artificial aroma.
On the palate is not that great, without been a bad dram. A little strong maybe, due to its 47%abv. Oak presence is strong, liquorice, pepper, mango, caramel. Cloying sensation in the mouth because of its sweetness.
The finish is medium with tobacco notes. Overall i give this interesting and exotic dram a fair 87 over 100. I can now tell you that out of the 3 experiments, winter storm (No.3) is the best by far and you could just buy the 3 bottles to have the collection, but only the 3rd one is really worth your time. Not bad drams at all, but their marketing is better than the actual drams.
