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.

The pinnacle of generic malt
if you find GF12 bland and boring it's your palate that has the issue not the whisky. There's plenty there for an experienced palate.

I agree that this Glenfiddich has taken a decided turn for the worse. Very disappointing. It seems to have been totally emasculated. I hope Glenmorangie and Highland Park don't go the same way!
Now I really have my own hotel lobby inside my apartment, with this Glenfiddich 12. On the nose, very light hints of flowers, minerals, orchard fruit, even weaker hints of malt, honey and orange peels. A little bit spirity. On the palate, green grass, sweet candies and malt, minerals. Some memories of smoke, too... Finish with sweet light hints of oak, specially when I'm breathing in. Oily, smooth, mouth-watering (not dry), and with medium length. No bitterness. This whisky isn't meant to be a complex carousel of an Islay dram, so the credits shouldn't be put in comparison with those whiskies that are in other categories. This is the hotel lobby whisky, for the broader range of consumers, and I think that it's a very good whisky for beginners. Good value for the money.
