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.
Like many, I started with this one. Since then I've had many...still consider myself a student of malts, not a master. Having said that, it's simple for me - when in doubt, get the green cardboard box. You just can't go wrong. I live in a hot country, and there are few pleasures of life that cannot be surpassed by a glass of fiddich with a cube of ice and a few drops of water after a hard day's work. Screw the snobbery, this one is a malt for every season and for all ages.
An easy drinking malt with some subtle and interesting pear and spice flavours. One can always easily recognise the 'fiddich 12. Excellent value from MOM and better than most similar priced premium blended scotch. Just don't add too much water or ice.
I really like the mineral-limestone-ish flavors. Can anyone recommend another reasonably priced scotch with similar flavors?
GF 12 was the first Scotch I had ever tried. I've drank dozens since and at a recent tasting, we did a flight of GF's and nearly everyone there was surprised at how good it was for the price. $40 in America. Yes, the 15 is better, but this is a good gateway Scotch.
light, smooth with subtle robustness and richness
