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.
Honestly, if you have an aversion to alcohol, why would you muddle the overall rating with your judge-mental biased views? Get over yourself and stay off the boards. Glenfiddich 12 year is a solid single malt Scotch with all the characteristics thereof. Don't listen to the haters.
Someone bought me a bottle and to be honest I do not take drugs,I mean drink, social brain washing that one is any different from the other. I digress to be frank not sure why people drink the stuff, so if you took the alcohol out no one would drink it and say it tastes like crap prefer a cup of coffee. So ultimately all it is is a flavour to allow you to ingest the alcohol for the kick It gives. Pear and toffee my a55 if I ate a pear like that I'd puke. I won't make a whiskey drinker still ill probably remember what I did yesterday
a re-visit ; nose is sweet caramel, apple and young whisky and grain spirit - quite harsh. palate sweet and one dimensional, flavours do not linger watery aftertaste, no oil nothing : very average considering it isn't that cheap.
..but I'll give it five-stars anyway to offset some of the snobbish reviews here, this is a perfectly fine 12 yr-old whisky, consistent and it tastes nice.
Cheap & Dale.
