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 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.
very bad especially it lessens the whole field of single malts simply blown away by the likes of laphroaig and talisker for the same price even black label is far superior it is very harsh with a compacted palate associated with blended whiskys i have found superior blends in budget supermarkets for less than half the price.
Classically reliable - I always return To Glenfiddich 12 year old. Good value
Nice smooth malt but the 15 is just that bit better! (not that I'm complaining having consumed 8 bottles over two years)
