Es el whisky que recomiendo para pasar de los blends a los single malt. Fácil de beber, agradables sabores frutales y dulces. Mínimo ABV para no espantar a los noveles en la materia
Fresco, se le nota la juventud, manzana verde, algo de pera e hierba fresca
Caramelo y bizcocho de vainilla con algo de manzana algo más roja en boca una pizca de especias pero mínima
La vainilla y el dulzor melifluo terminan un trago suave

A fine fruit-filled intro to the world of Speysiders...
Well, very much as advertised, with ripe red apple to the fore, edging into pear. There is something like a fizzy apple soft drink in the nose, with lots of sugars and a very light touch of vanilla.
A little rough spice that settles quickly into the flavours noted in the nosing. There's the sugar that brings out some caramel and more vanilla and heads towards Ireland in a nod to single pot stills. A consistent delivery that smoothes out after the first sip.
Longish and with a tick to each of the flavours that have gone before. A really decent intro to Speyside and Glenfiddich, which drinks reasonably easily. On further pouring, a little furring right at the end... If this persists, the score may drop a point or two...
Fruity lemonade and sherry on the nose, all very sweet and inviting. This immediately defines this whisky as a sort of dessert. The palette is unexpectedly punchy for 12 years, I've had 8 year malts at higher abv that were smoother than this. That's not necessarily a bad thing for a Speyside whisky, as many of them tend to be too bland and boring. This one actually has some depth and character to it. The fruit and sherry notes are well blended here. A good balance of sweetness and spice. The sherry casks really help save this whisky from mediocrity. Finish is unexpectedly short for its age. Overall a decent sipping malt that lives up to its reputation.

It does nog Stay with you. the aftertaste is very short. Maybe this is more for the beginners. in mine opinion It lacks karakter en depth.there is no Wow factor here😁😁. I always left this bottle on the shelfs because it wasnt appealing, but my curiousity won. i found it a bit dissapointing.
To much fruits for a good whisky

2021-04-19 Tasted with Sue and Dan Houston. Smooth and Light
This was the first whisky I actually liked. I came back to it seven years later, and it's still amazing. Really a great starting point, but also a warm welcome back
Fruity, caramel, walnut, the sherry shines through. It smells like spring
Almost like I'm sipping apple juice as I take a sip. Develops into soft caramel. Quite a thin mouthfeel
Soft spice on the tongue, a very dry finish, some warmth but it disappears quite quickly. I still understand how this one got me into whisky, it's damn good.
Fruchtig
easy drinking. good as a daily
Vanille, süße Frucht, etwas Eiche, wirkt im Gegensatz zu den älteren etwas wässrig, trotzdem aber recht süffig und unkompliziert, daher nicht umsonst der meist verkaufte
Es un whisky muy bueno, con unas grandes notas a jerez, dulce, pero predominan más las notas cítricas frutales, principalmente a peras, todas delicadas pero bien notables, todas delicadas redondas y equilibradas, su paleta no es tan compleja pero excelente para disfrutarla.. su fina es buenísimo, es fácil de tomar, para quien se inicia en las maltas ... recomendable para cualquiera y es uno de los que se deben tener en la colección.
Desde el comienzo se siente el jerez, un poco de alcohol pero nada molesto, frutas cítricas, peras, un toque suave a manzanas maduras y caramelo, madera bien suave, pero con un gran equilibrio y redondez en sus olores.
Cítrico y jerez, pera, dulce a azúcar blanca, medio cremoso o aceitoso, pero hace agua a la boca, un poco cálido, un poco picante pero nada molesto, amargo cítrico, como un chocolate medio amargo con limón amarillo, todo bien balanceando, un tenue toque a madera... es muy amigable.. fácil de tomar.
Largo, muy rico y delicado, mantiene el cítrico dulce, y el amargo cítrico.. su calidez bien sutil.

can smell the sweet to come. apples.
unoffending. slight bitterness on the swallow. very very smooth. oily.
almost no heat. warming and comfortable. let's call it medium and be happy
voor mij wat te scherp
tasted at Janus Mancave. very nice
Malty sweetness, green apple, pear, citrics, butterscotch, vanilla, subtle sherry and bourbon, wood, hints of smoke.
on the nose pear, honey, a bit of citrus and the malty note. the palate gives lots of orchard fruit. apple and pear with the honey still there citrus rind and a touch of oak on the finish. Is certainly thin but a great starter malt to whet the palate or introduce someone to scotch
very smooth, sweet, baked apple, vanilla. Nice speysider
Sweet flavor of pear and apple, very soft taste.
Very smooth, fruity and sweet in taste. Very nice to drink for me. Great open to world of single malts in my opinion.
Мой первый односолодовый. До него не знал что бывают настолько разные вкусы
Pretty simple and sweet. There isn't much here but it's not awful to drink either. One of the better ones at its price point but not the best.

Отличный вариант виски! Именно его я попробовал в первый раз и виски, как напиток, полюбился мне навсегда.
Мягкий с красивым янтарным цветом. Аромат фруктов, немного цветов, в дали немного дуба. Несмотря на присутствие спиртуозности, она нисколько не напрягает и довольно быстро уходит из стакана.
Вкус яркий с приличным и относительно долгим послевкусием. Сначала мощные фрукты, потом вкус цветочного луга... дальше немного ягодного вкуса, в самой дали чуть-чуть дуба и цитрусовой горечи.
Его единственный недостаток, что его более старшие собратья лучше... и все. Учитывая его ценник, просто великолепный вариант. Его можно пить спокойно наслаждаясь вкусом, а также можно пить в компании, учитывая его мягкость и легкость.
Беру его, когда хочется не потратиться, получить удовольствие в кругу друзей.
smooth and energy
Nice amount of smoke and fruit and a great introduction to scotch.
great intro to scotch
This is my go to dram. Sadly on a budget nowadays, I can honestly say this is a smooth drop of goodness. Fruity, sweet and clean and if your wallet can stretch a little further for a every other day malt, try the 15 or 18 year old offerings.
Smooth, balanced, slightly sweet
fruity, lots of pear and apple. Also a malty funk that almost tastes like a honeyed cereal
a nariz:
fuerte aromas de madera y frutas se siente el aroma del alcohol. Predominantes las notas de pera, manzana, luego maderas y especias picantes.
a boca:
fuerte, astringente. Frutas y madera, luego vainilla chocolate
The nose is simple but gentle and pleasant. The mouth is very sweet but relatively coarse on the tongue. At the end you feel bitterness. Good whiskey to the base level.
pear, honey, vanilla, flowers
pear, spices
oak, spices
Pretty bad on the nose. The taste on the other hand is good and packed with pear flavour.
I would say this was my first "real" Scotch. I really liked the idea of it being 12 years old. Sounds so fancy. The only Scotch I tried before this was Glen Talloch, which I didn't like much. Very harsh and not a lot of flavors. But this one, ow boy, what a difference. For about 2,5 times the price you get so much more. Glenfiddich is so soft, smooth and sweet. With very nice tones of pear, apple and a bit of butterscotch. Last time I also tasted some nutty tones. Very nice Scotch. Great value!

An der Nase sehr viel Malz bereits, richt fast wie Bier, was ich sehr angenehm finde. Auch fruchtige Noten erkenne ich.
Ich empfand ihn zwar nicht zu kräftig oder zu stark, aber auch nicht unbedingt mild, wie so oft beschrieben.
Alles in allem aber ein guter Malt zu einem guten Preis.

Not really for me. not really much to talk about on the nose, the palate is fine but the finish is unpleasant for my taste. No better with water either. Will probably just drink with coke.

Apple on the nose, vanilla on the palate. Sweet aftertaste due to the sherry cask I guess. Loved it.
Very fresh on the nose, fruity, a tiny bit vanille and just a pinch smokey. You can practically immediately dive nose deep without burning your nostrils.
tasting brings again forward the fresh, a bit of apple and a spicy touch. finishing pretty long and pleasantly warm. It's a smooth one, I quite like it
nice fruity whisky

It is basic with the taste of fresh Granny Smith Tart apples. There is a bit of an early bite but it is pretty minor. There is a consistency with the taste throughout the drink. A good buy if it is on sale but not unique enough to distinguish itself.
smooth, light flavor, pleasant smell and finish. good price
Pretty good! not most complicated, but really nice im nose, taste and finish
OK whisky, but not very exciting
quite young, fresh wood, herbs, some vanilla and sherry notes at the end

sweet and fruity with the taste of Apple. Pleasantly suprised for value for money.
Great way to introduce someone to Scotch. Tastes of apples and pears with a little spice.

There’s probably a good reason Glenfiddich 12 to be THE most sold single malt whisky in the world. It is good, true. But it is not as smooth as one could have expect, though. After you had a few of it you just want to switch to something smoother, milder. Still, if I were offered a glass of it I would take it on a heartbeat.
An underwhelming malt for daily basis that can find almost everywhere. Just for me it's too boring, no intensity, little taste... The nose is not very expressive and it is thin on the palate, it tastes like someone has put extra water in it already, basically it is weak. Yep, the quality in this entry level of Glenfiddich is definitely getting worse as the years go by...🙄

Slight sourness then hints of orange peel, followed by a little sweet soice and wood. Hard to believe it took 12 years to get to such an entry level scotch. A total ripoff at €12 a shot in Altis rooftop bar, Lisbon.
zacht en fruitig. simpel maar goed
nice "smooth" and "easy" whiskey, go to for a new bar, best choise for a non whiskey bar!
This whisky is a classic and it is actually pretty ok. A lot of oak, honey sweetness, some orange and a touch of spice.
Interesting with classic aromas: honey, orange and a bit of oak.
Not very complex, oak and honey.
Powerful and a bit too raw. A lot of oak and some spice.

A very smooth and pleasant scotch without the harsh after bite. Sweet and mellow taste. I even get a bit of a honey suckle type taste. I definitely recommend this one.
strong pear and the smell of grass on the nose, fruity on the palate. with some.oak.on the finish
smooth, balanced, tasty but kinda plain
Although it’s not overly challenging or unique, this really isn’t a bad whisky at all. Some may think that it’s too mass market to be appreciated, but I really don’t get that. The nose and flavour profile carry reasonably good depth and complexity and it is just the short and uninspiring finish that lets this whisky down slightly, but there’s a reason it’s the most awarded and widely drunk scotch in the world!
There’s sharp green apple, hay, a touch of honey, raisin and minerality on the opening, which develops into delicate nutmeg and white pepper spice along with a touch of citrus and lots of ripe pear.
Smooth mouthfeel, with apple and raisin strudel on the delivery, which develops into malty grain rich sugars, more hay and some crisp grapefruit notes on the mid and back palate.
The finish is probably the low point of this one. It’s short and a bit oak dominated on the swallow, with drying notes of English breakfast tea lingering.
Not remarkable
nose is sweet light and fruity pear. taste is also light and sweet slight hint of vanilla caramel quick finish with very little burn at the back of the throat. highly recommend as a beginner entry-level scotch

Simple uncomplicated taste with subtle hints of green apples and vanilla. Not a lot of body and a rather short aftertaste but an easy straight forward drink.
too young
Even my wife could tell that it is fruity (and she hates anything to do with liquor) typical floral Speyside, nice easygoing. no hint of peat/smoke. Pleasant.
apples
For a mainstream whisky may bad
Typical speyside, fruity aroma, can almost taste the ocean
it's a reely okei fruty wiskey but it's a bit dry in the moth.
Fruity and dry whisky, not so long aftertaste
Whisky très simple, qui n'a pas de gout tres prononcé. Qui reste correct mais rien d'exceptionnel
A good standard Whisky. Nothing exciting but still a good one
In der Nase fruchtige, süße Äpfel, allerdings etwas zurückhaltend. Im Mund wässrig und im Abgang mild und langweilig mit ein wenig Frucht und Säure. Insgesamt enttäuschend.

For a good company
Solid affordable scotch but not really my style. Slight peppery burn at first but given time gets smoother. Not a complex drink so would be good for novice drinkers. I will say this has its place as a good benchmark for future drams. I didn't get the green fruit at first but coming back to it after a while I can taste them now.
It's not one, if not the most popular malt out there, because it's no good. It's a fantastic, easy sipping malt, that won't challenge you too much. Good to unwind to, or as a starter malt to condition your palate for something more interesting.
one of my first tastes of whiskey. nice starter to a whiskey. light fruits coming through but faint slight oak too but flavours too muted
good beginners whisky. Nothing exceptional. Fruity
Very good entry level single malt at this price range. Well rounded and consistent flavour profile with fruity and vanilla notes.

apple, pear, vanilla and cream. Good whisky to have on the collection.
alcohol, apple
vanilla, cream
nose is honeysuckle, floral, malt. maybe some pear, green apple. honeysuckle leads the palate, which becomes dominated by less sweet malty cereal notes. finish is a balanced sweetness, not too long, the floral notes still pleasant. it's nice but there's nothing I find that interesting here
Smooth whisky, vanilla, green apple and pear notes, a bit alcoholic.
Great Scotch for the money. Crisp, fresh fruit, smooth finish. One of my all time favorite single malts.
it is the most popular single malt, it is reasonably priced it is well aged. ok with this in mind it cannot be bad. maybe nothing exceptional but really nice. great for starting with whisky and learn. is very fruity pears, apples and green fruits are buzzing in this dram. I gave more points than i deserves because of these.
Good scotch to own, a good benchmark.
floral, orchard fruit, malty, honey

also sweet and smooth.
short finish as the alcohol settles and a hint of oak comes out.

Ok beginner scotch as it's pretty nonoffensive. Not a lot of body or flavor. Some green apple notes, but watery and flat.
lekker maar niet dadelijk een uitblinker.
Great simple single malt. Very smooth and fruity. Can't go wrong

it's light and approachable. great for introducing newcomers to whiskey, or for just lavishing in the simplicity of how well it's made. the pear flavor is easy to get ahold of.

a good dram with a Smooth taste
Clean and quite light but still a good amount of flavour.
This dram has a sweet and crisp aroma, also of apple/pear with a warmth to its aroma and taste. It definitely is not overpowering but yet has a nut and fresh cut grass taste with a balanced drink.
smooth, fruit, malt
Fresh and crisp!
Fresh apples and pears on nose afterwards transfers to sweet and crisp tase in your mouth. Just beautiful!
I would say it's good everyday whisky - whisky that you can drink any day, any time.

Ein einfacher, reiner Single Malt mit Duft nach Äpfeln und Vanille.
What more can be said about this single malt? It's an ideal "beginner's whisky" (in both ways: for the inexperienced newbies and for the more experienced and advanced drinkers to get the palate/evening started) , yet still very like-able as an easy dram. Fruity, with apples and pear in the nose, that continue in the arrival, accompanied by some oak touches, with just a hint of vanilla to add a bit of sweetness. The finish is rather short and, again, the oak comes forward. It tastes somewhat young overall, and the difference between this 12 year old and the much richer, more flavoury 15 year old is just striking, of course partly due to the longer sherry finishing in that one...
fruchtig im Geruch und Geschmack, leichte Eichennote, top preis-leistungsverhältnis
Always great, my choice in a bar where the whisky menu is rather small and the waiter doesn't know his stuff.
Always a bottle, ready to serve!

friendly, 90% apple, vanilla as well, slightly woody, does what it needs to, but nothing more

I actually prefer this to Glenlivet 12 yo. Easy-going at the start and lively at the finish. Reminds me of candied apple and salt taffy.
Can’t go wrong with a dram. This is on my ‘always keep on hand list’.
Ripe fruit. Green apple and pear.
Subtle sweet fruity notes and reasonably priced. Would buy again.

Narrow, sour maple syrup nose. Contrary flavor up front, but a rising strong and pleasing finish. Very smooth and gentle, with a peculiar taste.
The generic flavour of Scotch starts here.
typical of a speyside malt floral with a hint of pear and apple.
smooth to drink worth the money
Okay but not great.
good taste but not my favorite
Must have for your collection. Easygoing and never disapointing.
smooth. pear. oak. sherry notes at the end
The nose is pretty good and oaky on this one, but the taste is a tad bland and alcohol bitey. Good but not great.
In der Nase Vanille, Birne und vielleicht etwas Honig.
Ein eher leichter Whisky, aber trotz nur 40% eine etwas unangenehme alkoholische Schärfe. Leichtes Prickeln auf der Zunge.
Ich weiß nicht wie aussagekräftig das Ganze ist, da die Flasche schon ein paar Jahre geöffnet ist.
pleasant oak but not much else
light, smooth, vanilla and a little oak. sweetness from the bourbon ans sherry finish. and easy to drink.
light and summery scotch.
Very good. my first single malt
really good one
What's great about the Glenfiddich 12 year is that it gives you quite a few flavours in small doses and is really well balanced not to overwhelm. The nose has a slight cashew twang with plenty of vanilla and light floral notes (mint coming through the most). The palate is then nutty, a bit sweet and quite light: the consistency is thin and washes away, but still leaves its flavours. The finish only has a little strength, but it leaves a pleasant sweetness of pear and that cashew. A really nice whisky, very drinkable and memorable for its lightness and subtle but varied flavours.
Cashew, vanilla, mint.

this is a good whisky but no dalwhinnie. easy to drink but the notes are hard to pick out. fruity with a little smoke. good not great
A softer scotch with hints of fruit near the end. A bit of honey when paired with water
Classic smooth and full bodied.
This is a staple Scotch in my collection. It is an easy drinking whisky that allows you to sit down and relax without having to think to hard about what your drinking. It has a pleasantly light smooth clean taste with a hint of apple/pear, caramel, and some earthy tones.
smooth and gentle
Lights hints of vanilla, toffee, green apple, pear
Creamy vanilla, gentle ginger, pear, toffee, hints of sweet spices

What I call an apple juice whiskey as it taste like a very alcoholic apple juice. Well rounded, friendly and designed to please everyone. All in all a very good scotch
Red apples
Red apples and a touch of oak

very pleasant smooth and easy on the pallet, slightly woody taste with a fruity hint.
Easy drinking but unimpressive.
Floral with scents of fresh apples and cooked fruits.
Spicy.
Sweet.
it's simple, but solid. green apples, pears, honey, and malt.
Somewhat fruity and mild; staple of my collection. Not exactly memorable for any one character, but pleasant and easy drinking.
Mild woddy taste.
good starter
Nose: apple, floral, white chocolate.
Palate: sugary cereal (think honey nut Cheerios), crisp apple-pear esters, slight peppery burn. Soft, medium light mouthfeel.
Finish: more orchard fruits, ethanol tang; a dusty, soily-sandy note underneath.
Conclusion: an approachably light, crisp and clean scotch. Easy drinking but not really my style - I prefer my whisky to have more definite sherry or smoky notes, whereas this scotch lurks squarely in the *safe* corner of the malt map. Although affordable, solid and pleasant enough to sip at, it is probably the least challenging single malt I have ever had, straying dangerously into ‘boring’ territory.
I taste pear primarily
Fruity fresh on the nose with a hint of caramel. Alcohol is very strong.
On the palet very flat with hints of wood and vanilla.
The taste is very woody with a short finish.
64 points.
toegankelijk
Nice "basic, every day" whisky.
fruchtig, rauchig, gut in Anfang und länger Nachgeschmack.
Good beginner whiskey... smooth and not at all complex
Vanilla sweetness, subtle sherry flavour.
weakish nose - really have to get your nose in the glass, but gives green apples touching on sherbet
thin mouth feel, light and pleasant, but not one for peat lovers
dry, sweet finish, pleasant but not awe-inspiring. would definitely recommend for a newer drinker or a sweet summer drink
sehr mild und fruchtig. habe mir den 18 jährigen davon bestellt und bin schon sehr gespannt
Good starter Scotch. Smooth and delicious but not sweet
Can't see why everyone says this is a good entry single malt. My first single malt was a 10y Laphroaig and I just fell in love with it. This one was a challenging first sip, felt too sharp despite its 40% ABV. I have to admit that the second and third were better. Anyway, I only got this so that i have a point of reference for the Project XX and the IPA which I've wanted to try for some time.
citrus. een hint van zweetvoet in het begin. wat zoet. wat salmiak.
Not a bad scotch for beginners being introduced to single malts
Good, but sharp. Nice price quality

Malt, fruit and spice with a tasteful finish. Water really accentuate the fruity and sweet character of the whisky.
good whisky for beginners
Very good whisky for beginners:-)
Very gentle, good start with single malts, after one drink you soon have taste for another and again...
.
too fruity for me
very nice single malt Whisky for a cheap price
very easy to drink, not much of an after taste though.
fruity, definitely a speyside!! raisins, cherries and fruit cake. very nice!
very good
A good, everyday Speyside. Not as enjoyable as Glenlivet in my opinion, but a nice, occasional change of pace.
Fruchtig nach überreifen Äpfel und Birnen, frisch. Im Geschmack malzig-süß mit prickeln auf der Zunge. Abgang kaum vorhanden.
very good
very good
for your first taste of a single malt.
Exellence entry level single malt, fresh and fruity.Single malt with a delicately balanced fragance.
Fresh and fruity with a hint of fresh pear juice
Sweet, fruity notes, cream, malt and oak
Long, smooth
De klassieke smaak van Glenfiddich. Met een neus van peer en licht vanille. Echt fijn!
Spicy on le nez, a lot of oak presents itself.... and then drops it's robe to reveal rich fruity and malty
Spicy: pepper, oak, toffee
More of the same, but with some burnt sugar offerings and orchard fruits
Tight, dry, more sugar.... and a lingering barrel character
Ich like this one to compare whiskies because in opinion ist is in in the middle of almost every taste.
fine classic!
Slightly weaker flavour than 15 yo. Generally fine, smooth.
very fruity whiskey. taste of young pear.

Very drinkable. Not my best tasting whisky but I'm never without one in my collection and it's always opened or near empty. Go figure :-)
Pears and apples in this watery, yet popular dram.
