Glenfiddich Orchard Experimental is a groundbreaking single malt from the renowned Glenfiddich Experimental Series, bringing together Scottish whisky-making expertise with the essence of English cider-making tradition. This limited-edition expression is finished in casks that previously held Somerset Pomona, a rich apple-based spirit, infusing the whisky with fresh orchard fruit sweetness and delicate spice.
On the nose, it bursts with crisp apple, pear, and gentle floral notes. The palate offers a vibrant medley of ripe orchard fruits, vanilla cream, and soft oak, with a subtle undercurrent of honeyed malt. The mouthfeel is light yet silky, leading to a refreshing and slightly sweet finish that lingers beautifully.
This whisky is a perfect showcase of Glenfiddich’s innovative spirit—combining unexpected cask influences with the signature Speyside style for a truly memorable dram.
