Tried this last night. Its good but not great, would give it a 3.75 out of 4. They suggest flavours of Candy floss and Licorice, didn't get that but did get notes of bourbon, must be from one of the blends being in american oak. Like that they are experimenting though. Will see ho the next one goes.

Had the IPA experiment a couple months ago was around the same score I bought some IPA beer to pair with it. The beer paired well but you couldn't really get any hoppy notes on the nose as they suggested.

20 of Glenfiddich's brand ambassadors choose a Cask each to create the Project XX. If I remember correctly, 19 of them chose Bourbon casks and there was only 1 person who chose a Sherry Butt. All of the casks were Single Malt. The Project XX is a Single Malt as all the whiskies are from Glenfiddich.
 
That west cork isn't too bad if I recall correctly. Should all be right up your alley not a hint of peat to be found anywhere.

yeah sorry i didn't mean blend as in blended malt i meant when they blended the whiskys together some of them (most as you say) were from Bourbon casks, you can definitely taste that
 
Dalwhinnie 15Yr single malt on special at Takealot ...R899 1lt.
Well worth a peep.
 
Anyone tried the Three Ships Pinotage Barrel Whisky yet? Dying to know what its like.
 
Picked up a bottle of Lagavulin 16 from Heathrow duty free for about R700 and got gifted a bottle of Bunnahabhain 12. I'm quite interested to see how they compare to the lovely Ardbeg 10... Ron Swanson can't be wrong can he?

3. The Bunnahabhain is awesome, very different from the Lag.. Almost sweeter

I have all those on my shelf here at home. So I am only jealous re. that price for the Lagavulin 16.

My absolute favourite Ardbeg is the Corryvreckan, but it's cask strength so must be "used" very carefully.
