Glenfiddich 12 Year
Single Malt
Glenfiddich // Speyside, Scotland
Glenfiddich is a family-owned distillery, and despite their 10 million liters produced annually, they warehouse all whisky on site. Additionally, they have both their own cooperage and their own bottling plant for their distinctive three cornered bottles.
The 12 Year expression is a benchmark, not only for Glenfiddich, but for Speyside single malt whiskies in general. Both ex-bourbon and sherry casks are used in its maturation.

Tasting Notes
"Aged predominately in used American whiskey barrels, the 12 year is aromatic with orchard fruits, butterscotch, and wood spices. There are tasting notes of oatmeal with cinnamon on the palate and though the finish is brief, it goes gentle into that good night. "
