Glenfiddich Malt Whisky 12 Y.O. 40% 0.7L
The Glenfiddich distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, in the heart of Speysi-de. To this day, the distillery is considered one of the best known - especially for its high quality whisky. The triangular bottle shape of Glenfiddich 12 year is one of the distillery's trademarks and represents the three key elements of whisky - water, air and barley malt.
The whisky is distilled in the Scottish air, from the pure water of the Robbie Dubh springs and exquisite malt. Each bottle is then filled by hand.
Maturation: Glenfiddich is aged for 12 years in Bourbon and Olosoro sherry casks. The change and maturation in both types of casks allows the whisky to take on the characteristics of the casks and also gives it its beautiful golden colour. Combined in oak barrels, Glen-fiddich develops its complexity and fresh, complex notes over 12 years.
Taste: Glenfiddich is 12 years fruity and fresh on the palate. At the same time it remains very light, which leaves it well on the tongue.
The sweetness of malt and caramel dominates the taste.
Characteristic for the Single Malt are also the aromas of fresh pears, harmonizing with creamy nuances of wood.
Finish: The finish is soft and complex at the same time. The nuances of the slightly peaty smoky note are noticeable. However, among other things, there are the fruity, softer components, resulting from storage in Olosoro sherry casks.
