Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that breaks traditional boundaries with an innovative fruity twist?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m impressed by how Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment Speyside Single Malt reimagines Highland whisky traditions. This Premium expression undergoes a unique finishing process in casks previously used for pear and red apple cider, creating an exceptionally fruit-forward profile rarely found in traditional Scotch. While classic expressions like Glenfiddich 15 Years showcase sherry influence and Glenlivet 12 Years Double Oak emphasizes vanilla smoothness, this experimental bottling delivers something refreshingly different.

• Distillery: Glenfiddich, established 1887 in Dufftown
• Region: Speyside – renowned for elegant, approachable malts
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for accessibility without sacrificing character
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Finished in experimental pear and red apple cider casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals crisp orchard fruits with hints of honey. Palate offers sweet pear, baked apple, and subtle vanilla cream. Finish is smooth with lingering fruit sweetness and gentle oak spice
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a single ice sphere

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly appealing for whisky newcomers and seasoned drinkers seeking something unconventionally approachable. The fruit-cask finishing creates a gateway experience that challenges preconceptions about Scotch whisky’s complexity.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, introducing friends to single malts, or expanding your collection beyond traditional profiles. Pairs with: Char siu’s caramelized glaze, roasted duck, honey-glazed pork, or mild cheeses. Recommended for: Those who appreciate innovative cask finishes – complement your collection with Aberlour Casg Annamh for comparison. Available at RM 285 with delivery across Malaysia.
