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.
Nosing is fresh budding flowers, slight vanilla and oaky woodenness, honey on the very edge. Taste has that honey show up, very short and sweet, almost tastes sherry cask. Ends with a nice wooden bitterness. Would be a great "go to" cheap choice
Light, floral, dry and a touch of spice. I like it better than Glenlivet 12 only because it is a bit more complex. Overall, not bad, but spend the extra $5 to get Craigellachie 13. Same profile only fuller, richer and a little more sweetness.
Brand is brand
I absolutely love this stuff.. for £25 still think it's nicer than the 18yr old glenfiddich and the 15.
Nose- Floral with touches of apple and cinnamon. Palate- Very smooth with a creamy malt aftertaste laced with sweet fruity flavor. Finish- Still smooth with more cream and oil notes coming through. Great for under 50 bucks but leaves one curious about the older offerings.
