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.
I like my whisky powerful and intense so this isn't for me. it's very light, smooth and bland.
It was my first single malt, and it raised the bar very high! The Glenfiddich whiskies are generally my type of malts as I don't really enjoy the strong peaty flavour, they are just perfect, starting with this one, and the price is really affordable so every malt lover can have a great drink in his glass, every day :) Cheers!
Reading some of the comments, looks like many try this as their first single malt. Guess when I randomly picked this out yesterday I did the right thing! I just tried it, and it was my first single malt too. It tasted like just an above average good blend. I'm no expert, but I didn't taste anything special. I believe all you seasoned drinkers can either detect very very very subtle notes and can hang on to that, or you just appreciate anything thats not complete rubbish. At any rate, this was disappointing. But as I'm no expert Im rating it a 7, same as it is now. So don't hate me. :)
Not a bad dram, has a nice finish to it but can be a bitter start. best served neat with some whisky stones. Obviously there are smoother whiskers out there but some of you folks need to get over yourselves. :)
A fine 12 yr-old whisky, safe & always consistent.
