Glenfiddich 12 single malt whisky is part of the distillery's flagship collection. It is an award-winning Speyside whisky and an excellent choice for seasoned sippers or those who are new to whisky. It has lots of light and fruity flavours thanks to a high cut point. Aged for 12 years in American and European oak casks, it's also the world's most awarded single malt!
Grain. Slightly floral, mineralic. Spirity, orchard fruit, malty, honey. Citrus develops.
Light, floral, spices. Very smooth.
Sweet, touch of oak and general fruit, oily.
Stereotypical Speyside. Consistent - a good benchmark.

Fantastic
So I have been revisiting a lot of the classic speysides and found this to be quite enjoyable. Super smooth with a delightful green apple flavor finished by a clean oaky tang. A little boozy on the finish though I think that Glenlivet 12 is just a little better on the aftertaste but this was surprisingly pleasant look forward to trying more from Glenfiddich. The Sugarbear
Not a bad whiskey, but very uninspiring
IMHO - Glenfiddich is wonderful - but you need to treat it carefully. Add a dash of water to your dram and then leave it at least 15 mins. If you don't it has a harsh scent and though nice toffee taste again has that harshness. That splash and wait is worth it - then you have a true sweet and caramel experience.
Why would you buy this over an aged Bourbon? Its sour, flavourless and has the most revolting mouldy after taste. Stop buying Scotch because its Scotch. Soaring Bourbon prices and demand are because its better and costs less. The death knell for any industry is when someone makes something better for less.
