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.
I'm no expert but... this is definitely my favourite scotch around the £30 price range!
Sweet, fruity, and a decent speyside. Not the best but not the worst. Cheap and easy to find for the occasional drinker or beginner. A good starter scotch. Not a fan of the low abv. Chill filtration and added color. I wouldn’t buy again due to so many better scotches out there, but I wouldn’t turn down a dram if offered either.
After being disappointed by numerous once-classic whiskies which have been deliberately ruined by despicable CEOs, I took a chance on this. It has a an oily backbone which is sadly lacking in many malts these days. At 12 years old it cannot be expected to have the oomph of an 18, nor does it try to. Instead, it is light, floral, lemony; almost like a white port. The finish is in the mouthfeel, which is buttery and quite long. Very dry with a hint of saline. For the price, it's very nice. A great original which remains unscathed in these dark times.
After reading many popular reviews of this single which was the first Scotch whisky I ever put in my face, I must say that this is a different animal. It used to be raw, spirit, and inferior to many many good blends. Well, it seems that someone at Grants copped on and it now tastes like a respectable 12yo entry Speyside, pleasant, sippablr straight or with a splash of water. But it is still only decent...nothing more. At below twenty quid worth a punt, but not a penny more
Enjoyable 12 year old malt. Good prices at the moment around £24 for a 70 cl bottle. Lots of Whisky snobs will tell you it's awful but that's not so . It's a typical decent 12 year old Speyside. Yes their are plenty superior malts to this but nevertheless it's a pleasant inoffensive & easy whisky to drink
