Description
Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is deliberately developed in the best American whiskey and Spanish sherry oak cask for no less than 12 years, after which it is mellowed in oak wedding tuns for an complete harmony in smell and flavor.
Using only the most exceptional ingredients and allowing only the heart of the distillate to continue onto maturation, the Glenfiddich 12 year old scotch whiskey is then carefully matured in the finest American bourbon and Spanish sherry oak casks for at least 12 years. After aging we marry the whisky in vast tuns for up to 9 months, to guarantee the quality and harmony of our spirit. Marrying single malt whisky is a tradition that we have passed down through the generations.
We are the only distillery to use specially designed, uniquely sized oak marrying tuns. Our Glenfiddich 12 year old scotch whiskey has distinctive fresh pear with subtle oak flavors and a long smooth vanilla finish. From these stills flow the traditions of a land, the pioneers of an industry, and the dreams of a family..
NOSE: Distinctively fragrant and fruity, with a hint of pear.
TASTE: Smooth, rich fruit flavors, subtle pine and a delicate hint of peatiness. The finish is long, lingering and round.
