Glenfiddich 12 Year
scotchspeysidesingle-malt
Glenfiddich 12 Year is one of the world's best-selling single malt Scotch whiskies, and for good reason. Matured in a combination of American oak ex-bourbon casks and European oak ex-sherry casks, it delivers a consistently approachable dram.
Nose
Fresh pear, hints of apple, and light floral notes with a touch of malt. Clean and inviting.
Palate
Smooth and creamy with fruit-forward flavours — pear drops, vanilla, and a gentle oakiness. Medium-bodied with good balance.
Finish
Medium length with a slightly sweet, fruity fade.
Verdict
An excellent entry-level Speyside that earns its place on any whisky shelf. Reliable, consistent, and widely available.
