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.
After enjoying whiskies for some time now I should note that this is far from a favourite of mine. However, at a cheaper price of around 25 quid you really can't go far wrong with this. It's a decent sip on any given weekday and I'm only rating higher as the low ratings are just a mile away.
I love everything from Nikka whiskey to Moonshine but I don't know if i got a defective bottle but it literally taste like the first breath exhaled right after a strong verp (Throw up burp). I will try another bottle for finalization but wasnt impressed on from go around.
Not far enough from mixtures of alcohol, color and flavor, like Johnnie Walker red label, for example.
I've tried a fair few malts but have only just tried this one. I didn't expect fireworks but what I got was a pleasant sipping whisky. Quite fruity and some nice vanilla oil flavour coming through. A touch of honey and spices and I'm sure there's a faint whiff of smoke in the background. For the price and availability it's fine stuff. Not too sure why this can get such a bad rep based on my experience. Agree with poster below - very nice with cheese!
Its a simple drink with nice crispness and pleasant smell. Its not fashionable but ignore the snobs, this is an inexpensive option and nice with some cheddar (also unfashionable) and pickles.
