Overview

It’s the release the whisky world’s been waiting for. The long-awaited fifth edition in Glenfiddich’s cult Experimental Series, celebrated for making absolutely ground-breaking single malts.

Glenfiddich’s legendary Malt Master Brian Kinsman travelled south to Somerset, the heart of England’s cider country to select the finest Pomona spirit casks, a luscious, sticky and rich apple brandy liqueur that’s similar to Port or Sherry.

The Somerset region is one of the world’s most famous apple-growing regions, producing benchmark apple cider, brandy and liqueurs. 

So, what happens when one of the best whisky makers uses a world-first cask type? You haven’t tasted a whisky like this before, but you need to. 

This is classic Glenfiddich flavour that made it the world’s most awarded distillery oozing with crisp apple, gooey marshmallow, ripe orchard fruits, creamy toffee, woody spice and rich apple strudel in every sip.

Only one batch was made, the UK’s down to their last bottles and whisky lovers everywhere else are aching to get their hands on a bottle.

We knew how keen our Members were to get this bottle, so wee partnered with Glenfiddich to secure the whole Australian allocation for the Club.
