Glenfiddich Project XX is part of Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series (No. 02), produced in Speyside, Scotland. Twenty global whisky ambassadors each selected a favorite cask from the Conval warehouse; these 20 casks (17 ex-bourbon, 2 sherry butts, 1 port pipe) were then married by Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, Brian Kinsman. It is a no-age statement whisky, bottled at 47% ABV, non-chill filtered, highlighting both depth and character without an explicit age designation.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open its complexity. It also holds up in cocktails that can match its flavor weight—old-fashioned style with orange peel or bitters, or served over a large ice cube. A Glencairn glass or similar whisky tumbler helps reveal its aromas. Pair with dark chocolate, nutty desserts, roasted or grilled meats, or sharp cheeses.
