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.
Goes without saying that this malt is good whisky for 'beginners.' Simple, pleasing, easy. Very enjoyable for people with more complex and experienced tastes, once in a while. Nothing at all to write home about.
Great for the price. Something I like to sip on in nice weather, not too strong or thick.
Good taste but I still like GLENLIVET 12 years
This really is a poor whisky. I first tried this 10 years ago and being my taste of whisky I remember it as quite tasty back then. However, having tried some of the finest single malts since such as Lagavulin and Laphroaig make revisiting this one a shock. There is so little flavour and I completely agree with other comments about the thick, oily taste and texture. I even threw away the remainder of the dram. At 25 pound it is 6 pound more expensive than a Bushmills and nowhere near as good.
Good
