  • Smooth on the palate, with more honey and toffee, soft spices and, ultimately, slightly bitter, hoppy ale notes.

  • The first sips bring apples and hints of tropical fruit, which lead into a zingy grapefruit peel finish laced with warming vanilla and nutmeg.

  • All told, I really love this expression — and am shocked at how generally affordable and available it is. Can’t wait to see what’s next in the series.

  • The finish is long with a subtle hoppiness that doesn’t overpower more delicate notes of green apples and vanilla.

  • I had thought it would be much fruitier. What’s good is that this new ‘experiment’ isn’t too expensive, around £45. The bottle is superb.

  • The dram is consistent from start to finish, where there's oak and cedar box, more floral and zesty notes, and honey.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Melon, mild hoppiness, standard doughy yeasty sweet apple Glenfiddich notes

  • Taste:

    sweet, grainy, melon apple, odd funk, astringency, vanilla

  • Finish:

    medium odd heat for the low proof, apple funk and vanilla no hoppiness

  • Overall:

    Seems like IPA in nose alone. not present in the taste or finish. astringent, hot, young, and just a faint hint of those standard fiddich notes. I'm really glad I tried this because I would not purchase this myself. In fact, I think Id take the OB Glenfiddich 12 or 15 over this with little to no hesitation.
