The Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment is the fifth release in the distillery's pioneering Experimental Series, showcasing a unique cross-border collaboration of craft. Born in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, where William Grant first established the distillery in 1887, this single malt is finished in casks that previously held Somerset Pomona—a rich, artisanal blend of apple juice and cider brandy from the Temperley family's orchards in Somerset, England. This innovative finishing process marries the classic, sweet, and fruity Speyside spirit with vibrant notes of crisp green apples, caramelized pears, and warm oak spice, celebrating both Scottish distilling heritage and traditional English orchard folklore.
