Glenfiddich 12, Glenlivet 12 and Glenmorangie 10. Three great entry points for anyone wanting try Scotch whisky for the first time.

Frank lampard I agree. Glenfiddich 12 was my first scotch. Then Glenlivet 12. I prefer Glenlivet to Glenfiddich in the 12 year old expression but I find the 15 year old solara vat Glenfiddich superior to the Glenlivet 15 French Oak. It is such an enjoyable experience. It might be my favourite single malt scotch.

Guys, today my beautiful wife bought me a bottle of this whiskey. While I was sitting in my office/game room/whiskey vault, sipping on it, she brought me a double chocolate chip brownie. I ate the brownie, and sipped the whiskey. It was a fantastic combo. I highly recommend it.

Here is my little story. I used to drink whiskey with Coke when I was right after 20 and I felt like I'm not giving it enough appreciation. I tried different basic blends on a rocks but I couldn't stand the taste. A few weeks ago I got Gentleman Jack from my fiancee because she saw me watching your videos so I decided to give it a try neat but this time I took it easy and I tried to find things I couldn't before. Today I'm hitting 31 and I think that I was just not mature enough to appreciate whiskey and after trying Glenfiddich 12 I definitely know that there is so many different whiskeys out there to try ,and I hope I'm going to live long enough to try all of them.

Hey! My husband thought of mixing this whiskey with Coke and he gave me the best gift of life. Before my drink was Bacardi 8 with Coke, now I won't change this Whiskey with Coke for anything. It's the best I've ever tried. Excellent mix, excellent drink and this is my drink from now on. My girly drink! 🙃Cheers!!

Came over from Modern Rogue. Love the channel and I love whisk(e)y. I always keep a bottle of Lagavulin and rotate through various other types. Glenfiddich 12 was my entry point when I was a young Scotch drinker (it's what my dad kept in the house, and I think it's probably many people's first/only whisky), but over the years I moved to prefer Islay's heavy peat smoke.
@WhiskeyVault7 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's a very familiar route for me. Seems like many categories contain a similar trajectory. In beer, start smooth and friendly, end up heavy hops. In coffee, start with cream and sugar, end up single origin espresso. In scotch, start in the Speyside and end up in Islay ;-)

I have been watching these videos for the last few weeks and this one caught my eye. I haven't had a scotch before and have been wanting to try for quite a while. My roommate ended up buying a bottle for my birthday and it definitely did not disappoint. It is a much different experience than the typical bourbon I drink but it is a welcome change that adds a much different drinking experience. I have so much more I want to try so I need to search these bare shelves in Utah to try to find everything on my list!

Just got a bottle of this as payment for a job, this is just a great friendly whiskey. I don't think the bottle is going to last very long. You say you get apple in it, but I really get much more pair and a slight hint of something else, a more earthy or woodsy note, almost like a pine forest. Or maybe that's the forest I am drinking it in. It's probably just the trees. Either way it's a great whiskey in my opinion. Thanks for the great video boys.

I can see myself over imbibing pretty easily 🤪. Good stuff. Reasonably priced and found everywhere. Love the channel.

10 years ago Glenfiddich 12 and Glenlivet 12 were the first two Single Malts that I ever tried. They turned me off Scotch whisky and I turned to Bourbons. It wasn't until earlier this year when I tried Laphroaig Quarter Cask that I fell in love with Peated Scotch and I started investigating Single/Blended Malts from around the world. Most Speyside Scotches are too tame for me. Being in Ontario Canada with some of the highest alcohol prices it was easier to get quality Bourbons than Single Malts.

Ive heard its nice, I have it, but I havent opened it yet. I want to try mre whiskeys before I open that one. Im a big peat guy, but i also like non peated or less peated whiskies. So far Glenfiddich 12, Lagavulin 16, Jura Prophecy, Laphroaig PX Cask have been down my throat. And Ive been wanting to learn more.

To add another point about aging, Scotch rarely uses new-make wood. Scotch uses refill bourbon, sherry, port, etc. casks. So Scotch whisky ages slower not just because of climate but because more so of how seasoned the oak is. I've had 21yr old Cragganmore from a refill hogshead (possibly even 3rd fill) and the wood presence was rather mild. It was still a spirit-driven experience but with a good amount of wood tannin on the finish. But a bourbon going 21 years in a cask? Flirting with disaster.
@Zack-vn7dt5 жыл бұрын
So you mentioned that in aging Bourbons, the warmer climate speeds up the effect the wood has on the whiskey. Is this why Bourbon is typically much darker in color than Scotch, or is that unrelated?

To anyone who hates or dislikes apples and pears, do not shy away from trying this.

I hate apple cider. I don't mind eating apples every once in awhile but I'm not a huge fan. The taste of this whiskey is still very good and it's not like it tastes exactly like apple juice so don't worry.

Glenfiddich was first single malt I tried. It was a present and I never quite got into it. Funny thing is years later I was given Glenmorangie 10. I immediately loved it, and when I finished the bottle I tried the Glenfiddich again, and liked it much better. I guess the Glenmorangie was an better "first whisky" and somewhat trained my taste buds to start venturing into others. And here I am a few years later sipping away at my Lagavulin.

I just realised, when Daniel was talking about the effects on aging, he says that the hotter temperature in the states would cause more water to evaporate first... but alcohol has a lower boiling temperature than water? Or am I missing something here?

It has to do with density of the alcohol molecular structure not being able to escape the wood the same way.

70% chocolate is a good pair with Glenfidd 12 .... we need more “the dude” moments

I suggest the dark chocolate Milano cookies.

Does the color of the bottle impact the way light effects a whisky in the same way it does beer? The majority of beers come in a dark brown bottles to prevent this breakdown. I’ve noticed that I dislike any beer in a green bottle (e.g. Heineken or Moosehead) because they all have a similar skunky aftertaste. I sense no such problem with green bottled Glenfiddich, but the question still stands, you MBs! Keep up the great work!

Also have you done/can you do Knockando 12. A slightly lesser known Speyside I'd be interested in your view of.

This is so light after trying Balvenie and Aberlour A'bunadh! Least intimidating taste and moutfeel I've tried yet!

I've the Glenfddich 12 and 15....and 18 haha there so nice. I love the mellow, smoke nut type scotch brings. It's just a perfect whisky especially with cigars

My Glenfiddich story......my 21st birthday, late into the next morning....no booze left, my best mate and I decide to go to the beach to watch the sunrise.......I remember on the way that my Pop has an unopened bottle of Glenfiddich in his liquor cabinet...a bottle he bought duty free on his only overseas holiday a few years earlier....I never saw him drink Scotch in my life, but he loved that bottle. So, we slip into the house...I was living there at the time....around 4am in the morning, swipe the bottle from the cabinet and proceed to the beach. We then sat and sipped from the bottle as the dim light of day grew.......a perfectly beautiful morning as the sun rose over the ocean and appeared to give us an approving wink between the light clouds of the morning....as we continued to swig the sweet goodness of life and all that lay before us. I now prefer the Glen 15 and 18 but 12 has a deep implanted memory, that I keep honored with that of my Pop, by leaving all the Glenfiddich 12 for him to enjoy where he is........hopefully sitting on a beach watching the sunrise.

Pronounce Glenmorangie, stress second syllable and say the or as in more. Btw, the Grant brothers were also the first distillery to open a visitor's centre - so successful that others followed suit or got left behind in the public eye.
