The Glenfiddich IPA Experiment Experimental Series No. 01 is a unique single malt Scotch whisky that brings together the worlds of whisky and craft beer. Bottled in 2022, this expression is the result of a pioneering collaboration between Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman and Speyside brewer Seb Jones. In the first experiment of its kind, Kinsman and Jones created a new craft IPA that was aged in bespoke craft IPA barrels. The whisky was then finished in these same barrels, resulting in a single malt imbued with unique zesty citrus notes of ripe green apple, Williams pear, and spring blossom. The subtle tang of fresh hops is followed by a long-lasting sweetness. Part of Glenfiddich's Experimental Series, this whisky is a testament to the innovative spirit of the brand. The Glenfiddich distillery, located in Dufftown, Scotland, was built in 1886 by William Grant and is still owned by his family descendants today. Glenfiddich played a major role in the history of Scotch whisky, as the first distillery to commercialise its own official bottlings of single malt whisky in the early 1960s. This expression is a true collaboration between two experts in their fields, resulting in a whisky that pushes the boundaries of traditional Scotch. The IPA used in the casks was specially brewed for this expression by the Speyside Craft Brewery, and the whisky was finished in the IPA casks for three months. The result is a unique and delicious whisky that is sure to excite whisky and beer lovers alike. The aroma is mainly malty with a touch of grass. While the apple and pear notes are subtle, the vanilla flavor makes it mild and accessible. The influence of hops, although understated, leaves a zesty film after the peppery notes. The finish is long, featuring a mix of lemon zest, butterscotch, and vanilla. Although not very complex, it is a comfortable whisky that lives up to its price.
