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.
Amazing scotch, admittedly it took me a few days to start to appreciate it but when i did, i'd found a new love in my life. I'd go as far as to say this is my favourite whisky, although i do plan on treating myself to another Glenfiddich 15 at some point.
Not bad not good. Has so,e complexity but not enough, it's a wee bit harsh but compared to,other singles at this price point it's not to bad at all. The standard one to have in the cupboard for others but not one I would personally have unless my options were limited,
Personally, I think it's fine although I am far from an expert. Though if you're into something different, try it with fire roasted marshmallows around a fire pit! Leave an interesting finish, something like caramel and coffee yum!
Light and floral. Not my type of single malt
This is boxing above its class. The Glenfiddich 12 has more in common with J&B Rare Blend and Cutty Sark Blend. The nose is just harsh and unappealing. Like someone squeezed a tiny bit of salted grapefruit into a dirty rusted can full of grain alcohol. The taste is like I said above. Tastes like a low cost blend. Flat, uninspiring and just plain bad. And the finish is actually alright. With little oak and a bit of citrus zest. But that equates to someone giving you 5 dollars after punching your baby in the face. I have no idea why people love this scotch so much.
