Glenfiddich
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
This was my first single malt and I absolutely loved it. Very smooth and nice sweetness. Doesn't have that burn that other whisky has. I really enjoyed it!
Glenfiddich 12 introduced me to malt whisky, long long ago. I revisited and purchased the new bottling to see what's changed. Not much, still a good dram. A little more apple than pear this time. Malty sweetness, not too much, a little more "bite" than I remember (could be the Glencairn glass). Not too complex, but very consistent and a good reference "standard malt" with an easily recognisable character.
Agree with others that say it's changed for the worse. I used to drink this in the late 90s and again in early 2010s and it was always great. Since 2018 it is way inferior to other brands for the same price. Even the longer aged bottles (I got a three pack up to 18 year - all bad).
I always think of Glenfiddich 12 as the benchmark speyside to compare all others. Light, floral and sweet and very smooth with definitely a lot less burn than The Glenlivet 12. Because it is so ubiquitous, I think many whisky drinkers are just a bit snobbish about it. However, it is easy drinking, and still a good and classic speyside single malt whisky! Recent reviews below seems to think it has changed, but my recent purchase (April '20) is as good as I remember.
