The Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment is the fifth release in Glenfiddich's distinguished Experimental Series and is a single malt whisky finished in Somerset Pomona casks. Bottled in 2022, this remarkable expression is the result of a creative collaboration between Glenfiddich's Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, and Matilda Temperley, Master Distiller of the Somerset Cider Brandy Company. The Pomona casks, unique within the whisky industry, previously held a blend of apple cider brandy and apple juice from the Temperley family's orchards in Somerset, England.
Initially matured for two years in ex-bourbon oak casks, the whisky undergoes a finishing period of four months in the Pomona casks. This meticulous process results in a sweet and gentle expression with an aromatic nose of fresh orchard fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches, complemented by spiced oak and rich toffee on the palate. The finish is sweet and lingering, leaving a lasting impression.
The Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment is a pioneering single malt from the renowned Speyside distillery, combining the traditional craft of Scotch whisky making with the delicate sweetness of Somerset apples. This innovative release showcases Glenfiddich's commitment to pushing the boundaries of whisky experimentation and craftsmanship.
