Glenfiddich
PROJECT XX
Summer Fruits and Candyfloss
ABV 47%, 70CL
20 of the whisky industry’s most exceptional minds came together to create this truly unique, pioneering single malt expression.
With its deep golden hue, Project XX embodies the warm, fruity character of a classic Glenfiddich whisky with hints of apple blossom, summer fruits and ripe pear. But its multiple personalities are revealed with hints of sweet candyfloss, cinnamon spice, almonds and rich port tannins with the odd whisper of liquorice. Deep and mellow, the finish is long lasting with a lingering sweet oakiness.

Shrouded in secrecy
The Project XX experiment was so shrouded in secrecy that the whisky experts taking part didn’t even know about it until half way through the process. Given free reign of our Conval Warehouse, each expert chose a malt which most intrigued them, including whiskies from port pipes, American oak, and bourbon barrels.
