Glenfiddich Experimental Series - IPA Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
One of the first pair of entries in the Glenfiddich Experimental Series ? a whisky finished in casks seasoned with India Pale Ale. The Speyside Craft Brewery created a special beer which was aged in ex-Glenfiddich casks for a month before they were returned to the distillery and filled with whisky for a three-month finishing period. The result is a vibrant and fruity dram.
