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.
Ignore the half a star reviews! I think it is popular for people to bad mouth a classic to help them feel more discerning and special but this is a good whiskey. It’s light and refreshing, palate cleansing. I can taste malt, cream, pears and soft banana with a nice oaky finish. It’s not the most complex whisky but it is smooth and balanced and for the price is quite extraordinary!
Ambrosia.relax, enjoy and thank whoever you think is responsible for a small amount of you time at its best.
Great, my son gave me a gift of "dice rocks" to put in the freezer, I like neat. Have to say though The Glenlivet faired better . . On the rocks
Quite simply, it never fails: it is smooth, drinkable and enjoyable. There are other whiskies that stand out more, and do more for me, but for general relaxed drinking, the Glenfiddich 12-year-old is reliable and pleasant.
Nose: apples, sweet pear, apricots, green plums, green berries, citrus. Taste: Fresh fruits, lemon, dried apricots, honey, grapefruit, slightly bitter on the finish, not as sweet as expected. Finish: Refreshing, palate cleansing, fresh cucumber taste, short to medium finish. Obviously it is not for people who are looking for great complexity, smoke or peat. But if you want fresh, fruity, light whisky, this one is most definitely for you. Sometimes you just want something refreshing, something lighter and this one fits that task quite well. In a matter of fact it is so good at what it does, I always keep a bottle at home.
