Glenfiddich 12 Year Old
ABV 40%
What the professionals say:
Carefully matured in the finest American bourbon and Spanish
sherry oak casks for at least 12 years. Married and mellowed in oak marrying
tuns for complete harmony of aroma and flavour.
A single malt Scotch whisky with distinctive fresh pear,
creamy with subtle oak flavours and a long smooth and mellow finish.
The world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky; this is
our family’s signature expression.
What I think:
Well, I have read a lot about this Whisky, and I have tried
several bottles over the years, this was the first single malt I ever shared
with my Dad, and simply the sight of the distinctive green bottle can transfer
me back in time to the front room of our old house. Let alone the aroma and
taste, but enough about my past…
This Whisky is golden in colour, and a real delight to watch
swirl around the glass. It has a slightly fruity, but quite light aroma with a
long and smooth finish. It’s a very pleasant Whisky to drink with hints of butterscotch,
malt, fruit and subtle Oak. It retails at around about £20-30 per bottle for a
70cl.
It’s a great Whisky to keep in the cupboard for an
occasional tipple, the cornerstone of every bar and a great place to start when
introducing people to Whisky for the first time!
No Whisky drinker will ever be offended if you offer them a
dram of this one.
7 out of 10!
