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.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by Billy Abbott (TWE)
Nose: Candy necklaces, barley sugar, lemon zest, brioche, milky cornflakes (with a sprinkling of white sugar), dried apple rings, soft cinnamon and a dusting of nutmeg.
Palate: Oily texture with rich vanilla toffee and lemon cream to start. A green leafiness sits at the centre, surrounded by oaky spice, Shreddies, cocoa and floral hints – almost like rose-water-infused chocolate...
Finish: Freshly crushed malt, Ovaltine, Cocoa Puffs and hints of damp green leaves.
Comment: Not a beer-flavoured whisky, but one that sits alongside the beer and shares some flavour ideas – floral touches, fruit and a hint of green leafiness. A great dram.

I didn't get anything from this whisky – very bland with no individual character. Won't buy it again.
-
Interesting and different but in the final reckoning pretty insipid. It just tastes young which is because there really is not much flavour to come from IPA barrels. Not doing it down, lovers of lighter whisky may enjoy it but if you like a potent sherry wood or a smokey then this is not the one for you
-
Excellent sipping Scotch with the notes of IPA.
-
Yes, I have tried Glenfiddich IPA several times it's great. I also tried the 18, 15, and 12 years, but I prefer the IPA
-
I am shocked! Wonderful, great stuff! It was an explosion in my mouth of wonderful flavors combined together.
-
Definitely a winner I would call it a dessert scotch it definitely has a slight influence of the hops hope it becomes a regular in the gf stable it's damn good
-
I had high hopes for this, and it is fine, but expensive for a whiskey which lacks any depth. It tastes young and has no level of flavours. The idea is great, but the actual execution is lacking.
-
This whisky is fantastic ! Wonderful sharp citrus then amazing warm sweet toffee finish that is very moreish . This is a winning combination.
-
Delicious scotch, preferred it over the 18 year!
-
Beautifull warm malt...i got most of the flavours listed in the tasting notes.. would purchase again
-
I loved the rich slightly thick taste and texture a real must try.
-
Very good
-
An interesting, smooth and satisfying whisky. Good enough that I've bought 2 now!
-
Just into my first few pours of this one and it is extremely good for an NAS scotch. I do enjoy craft beer from local breweries here in Ontario Canada and don't really fine much in the way of a hops influence in this so far. I would highly recommend if you like something a little different but delicious.
-
It is quite lovely.
-
Quite delightful
-
Very pleased.
-
Excellent! Exactly what you expect from a Glenfiddich but with something else. More rounded flavours and a little more citrus. No beer here but can see what has been done. Defiantly worth a go!!!
-
I have just sampled Glenfiddich IPA and am very pleased with it. The hoppiness may be a challenge for some, but to an old beer drinker, no challenge at all. It makes a terrific sweetener for black coffee. The price per bottle is very acceptable. This is a good product and well worth keeping on hand in the liquor cabinet. I will buy it again
-
Superb whisky smooth flavoured and full of character will buy again
