Glenfiddich is renowned for its innovative approach to whisky-making, and this limited-edition expression seems to be no exception. The use of Japanese Awamori casks for finishing is intriguing.

Awamori is a traditional distilled spirit from Okinawa, Japan, made from long-grain indica rice. It has its own distinct characteristics and flavor profile. By finishing the Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch whisky in these casks, it would have absorbed some of the unique flavors and nuances imparted by the Awamori casks, adding an interesting twist to the traditional Glenfiddich style.

The extended maturation of 29 years in American and Oak casks before the finishing process suggests that this whisky has had ample time to develop complexity and depth. The influence of the Awamori casks during the finishing period would further enhance its flavor and create a distinctive tasting experience.

Given that this is a limited edition release, it's likely to be highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts and collectors. If you have the opportunity to try or acquire this whisky, it would certainly be an experience worth savoring.
