The 3 big glends ,glenfiddich 12,glenlivet 12 and glenmorangie 10 are not made for maltheads but for the occasional whisky drinker, BUT as someone who enjoys( like me) the world of Whiskies these mass produced products should never be looked down on. I have always got at least one of these bottles at home. Good vid Horst,have been watching your vids now for years 👍.

Versatile, basic, and beautifully fruity. 7/10. Fruity - pear and hints of apple and perhaps honeycomb; Slightly dry finish that leads to almost a nutty chocolate. Very little smokiness. Excellent for beginners. Cheers!

Very nice. I am going through a few whiskeys looking to learn more. Currently enjoying the Lagavulin 16 and the lagavulin 8 and a sneaky Canadian 21 yr old pike creak (finished in speyside casks) I am happily surprised with the Glenfiddich 12 (present at Christmas) very light, fresh and palatable. Definitely a starter. I do like the more complex dram on a winters night however the glen 12 will now be added to the cabinet as an easy evening dram any day of the week. Have a dram for me.

@pianistgonerogue7 ай бұрын
These speyside whiskies are just so similar to one another: honey and vanilla on the nose, hint of fruitiness, and on the palate some straight forward oakiness, vanilla and some spicy aftertaste. But you have to try really hard to pick all those flavours up, other than the oak itself. Just bought the 12 and it left me somewhat indifferent.

The Glenfiddich 12 years is a really famous Single Malt and also very good, but if you want to taste something more exotic go with the Jura 10.

I wish I could find some here in the states. Scotch is the only thing I haven't tried.
@PinkyPowers3 жыл бұрын
What State are you in? This is a hugely popular Scotch in America, generally speaking. You can find it in virtually every bar and restaurant, and most stores. Perhaps you're not looking in the right section? It won't be with the Bourbons or Rums, but the Scotch shelves. My local grocery store has tons of Bourbons, and very few Scotches. But in that small section, they are well-stocked with Glenfiddich 12. When I go to an actual liquor store, Glenfiddich takes up its own shelf or two. This is a very big brand in America, and has been since the end of Prohibition... and, if we're honest, during. ;) It could be your State simply doesn't like the stuff. But I have feeling it's probably there, you've just been overlooking it. I hope you find it. The Original 12 is such a bright, fruity, and delightful drink. It somehow tastes "cool" on your tongue, even when room temperature.
