Glenfiddich 12 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Oct,17 in Tasting , Glenfiddich

“A very floral whisky with some smoke. Very faithful highlands style.”

Gold Medal 2007 International Wine & Spirit Competition. The Glenfiddich 12 Year is distinctively fresh and fruity with a hint of pear on the nose. The palate for this single malt is characteristically sweet, with undertones of butterscotch, cream, malt and a hint of oak. It finishes long, smooth and mellow. See for yourself why this is one of the world's most popular single malts. 40% ABV

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (90): strong. peaches, some honey, vanilla, spices, smoke, floral.

Palate (88): light, dry, oily, powerful. peaches, floral, honey, wood, smoke.

Finish (88): long. floral, honey, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfiddich 12 year with 89 points over 100.
