Суммаризация отзывов

Лёгкий, сладкий и простой односолодовый виски с яблочно-грушевыми и ванильно-медовыми нотами, который часто советуют как стартовый. Многие отмечают водянистость, малую сложность и короткий финиш, а мнения о цене и качестве расходятся.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах преобладает описание лёгкого, сладкого и несложного солода с фруктовыми нотами зелёного яблока, груши и цитрусовых, а также ванилью, мёдом, солодом и дубом. Его нередко называют простым, мягким и удобным для повседневного употребления, «daily dram», аперитивом или отправной точкой для знакомства с односолодовым виски; часть отзывов хвалит его как надёжный, доступный и «честный» вариант с хорошим соотношением цены и качества, а отдельные голоса считают его недооценённым. Крепость 40% одни воспринимают как комфортную, другие — как недостаточную, из-за чего напиток кажется молодым. Критика повторяется не менее часто: водянистость, плоскость, отсутствие сложности и «напряжения», короткий финиш, горьковато-древесные, травянистые или дубовые ноты, танины, спиртовая теплота и слишком заметный алкоголь. Есть замечания о «пыльной» ноте, лёгком серном оттенке, солодово-зерновых и слегка незрелых тонах; один отзыв назвал виски отталкивающим, другие — скучным и не стоящим поиска. Мнения расходятся и в сравнениях: одни предпочитают Glenlivet 12 или 15-летний Glenfiddich, другие ставят его выше стандартных блендов; также звучит, что со временем качество падает, профиль становится более дубовым и менее цветочным, а один отзыв отмечает улучшение после нескольких месяцев открытой бутылки. Часть комментариев считает его пригодным скорее для коктейлей, чем для употребления в чистом виде.

Nose: Pear and plums. Sweetness. Some vanilla and a hint of citrus. Body: Light weight, watery. Taste: Everything nosed reappears, with the addition of some orange and some tannins. Ever so slightly salty. Finish: Short and sweet. Verdict: There are far better 12-year standard bottlings out there. Good profile, but unfortunately too bland and too little complexity.

Whisky Hamster Expert Senior 80 19 mar 2021 10:53 pm
Must say I am pleasantly surprised by this classic, inexpensive bottling of Glenfiddich, BUT it needed a few months open with lots of air to become better and better. Initially it did not convince me, more a 76 p. like many have given. The gain of quality over time came as a big surprise as it's bottled at 40% abv. but it happened, could be repeated another day and with a critical friend, too. Thumps up for this one.

I recommend drinking a bottle of this with friends on a party. I don't think it is suitable to keep for very long, as it rapidly deteriorates. In my humble opinion the chill-filltration rids this whisky of its balance. Except for the nose, the Glenfiddich 12 seems a combination of elements rather than a blend of it. Initial mark 78/100. Overall mark 68/100.

Nose - mixed tropical fruit, spice, fudge, cloves, juicy fruit chewing gum, maple honey & light apple. Very pleasant. Taste - spice, oak, cloves and pepper. Finish - sappy wood, way too short. I hate to say it, but that was terrible, I remember it use to be so much better,  can't believe how weak the taste was and extremely short development. The nose was so temping as well. I wouldn't buy this, there are plenty of better 10/12 year old out on the market.

Being a solid benchmark single malt, this whisky is easily accessible to the beginner. Green apples and other fruits dominate on the nose, while Glenfiddich 12 tastes sweet, malty and quite harmonic. Its rather light character combines with hints of oak and slight bitterness in the finish. Unfortunately, there are some rough edges in the background of this spirit, presumably due to high demand for casks. After all, this whisky is one of the best-selling malts in the world. A warmly recommended Speysider that offers a practical introduction to malt whisky! RATING: 3.2/5.0 stars ≙ 81 pts → AVERAGE [+]

A good whisky for a beginner, not complicated, not interesting but doesn't bite. So a beginner can't say they doesn't like whisky. Even among cheap whiskys it's not the best. That's all.
Armiil Member Senior 78 22 mar 2021 7:27 pm
Glenfiddich 12 is the go-to recommendation for every "beginner" on their malt journey because of its wide availability and the fundamental and easy flavours it offers. The nose is full of fresh fruits: Apple-pear yogurt, vanilla, toffee, and slight milk chocolate. A similar gentle and balanced profile continues in the mouth with a hint of oak. The finish is almost non-existent. Empty glass smells like creamy apple pie dessert. Manages to bring fruit to the glass, but is somewhat one-dimensional in its delivery. 78 points.

Average whisky, not too good, but not too weak either. Many of us started their adventure with Single Malt from this position. In my opinion, it is very prudent to just start with it. It is a typical drink that will not discourage you, but you cannot find anything more than the standard in it. I recommend living with a Scottish drink for beginners.

For a long time I didn't know what bothered me about Glenfiddich 12. Actually very pleasant, but there is a malty mustiness in the finish that I find unpleasant. It's fine for me if I'm offered it, but nothing more.

The quality in this entry level Glenfiddich is definitely getting worse as the years go by. 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. It does improve with time in the glass but personally I would put your money towards something else.

Doesn't hurt anyone, but it's not spectacular or challenging in any way either. This distillery can do so much more and unfortunately presents itself with its entry-level bottling as rather underclass. However, this does not deter newcomers and, as the market shows, it seems to be a good course. OK, but nothing more.

Koloman Expert Senior 72 23 dec 2014 7:23 pm
In contrast to almost all other whiskys from the distillery Glenfiddich, the 12yo is not (anymore) bottled in the company's own bottling plant in Dufftown. Therefore, on bottle and outer packaging, only "DISTILLED AND MATURED IN THE VALLEY OF THE DEER" (and not "DISTILLED, MATURED AND BOTTLED" as on other bottlings). However, Glenfiddich has the luxury, whenever a tanker full of 12yo leaves the distillery to send a second tanker filled with water from the in-house Robbie Dubh source, so that in the course of bottling no "foreign" water must be used.

Nose: Beautiful malty sweetness and fresh cereals, dark aromatic (but not spicy) honey, vanilla, unripe plums and brown apples, tingling but not unpleasant alcohol already in the nose (a hint of vinegar). Honest and autumnal malt with clear profile Taste: Slightly tingling onset, strong but not biting, a lot of dried cereal and hay, a lot of malty sweetness and caramel, some honey and vanilla, with apple pieces that were already a bit dried. Put that out of your nose without any frills - no surprises finish: First NEN little alcohol sting and some pepper then comes immediately this malt and fruit sweetness (and juiciness), but at the back of a nice bitterness and unfortunately I also find something immature cereal brand (young and spritig - if only discreetly). Simple and straightforward finish that unfortunately can not have the whole character shown so far. Conclusion: Great honest malt that fits wonderfully to a hearty snack. Quasi a Scottish country wine. Too bad that the finish can not go the high level but a thoroughly delicious malt. From me first really good 80 pts! Notes from a blind tasting!

A really nice ‘beginner’s’ dram which does not deserve the hate it sometimes gets. This is the stuff you either pour a friend who’s new to scotch (or whisky in general), or to start a flight with. I would love to see this at a higher ABV without the chill filtration.

Нос82Mostly fruit, pear and banana are the most present, together with a sickly sweet honey, then red apples and mango. There is a slight oatmeal-esque note and once in a while a very noticeable hint of cinnamon.
Вкус79Alot more malty than the nose. In fact, the taste on this one is overall alot different to what the nose might suggest. Yellow fruit and a slight chilli. This is the weakest part of the dram for me.

I wanted to revisit a few of the more popular bottles out there to get a better feel for the "average." As this is probably one of, if not the, best selling single malts out there, it's as good of a reference as it gets. Absolutely drinkable, I'd never be offended with this: but why seek it out when there's so much more interesting stuff out there? This is what you stick in a rocks glass when your attention is elsewhere.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос79Plentiful fresh pears, but combines with the alcohol a bit to bring out a solvent-ish note at times. Hints of marmalade, stewed fruits. Surprisingly dense porridge underneath, alongside honey, cedar, and toffee notes: hard to find, but present. Genuinely pleasant and well-balanced: there's complexity, but it's quite subtle, and requires attention to find.
Вкус73Wow, that's light: I've not had something bottled at 40% in a long time. It wants to be creamy, but lacks the muscle to do so effectively. A memory of those plastic-wrapped caramel apple pops comes in and out of focus: vanilla, apple, and caramel, all in their most artificial forms, but all are extremely subtle. A mild bitterness either from solvent or oak. Otherwise, it's a bit raw and peppery, but mild enough to be quaffable.
Финиш67Short, bordering on medium. More of a wheeze than a finish. A swift shot of (heavily diluted) apple cider vinegar and ethanol leading to a strangely ashy, hollow aftertaste, with surprising brackishness.

This was my first single malt and I have to say that I really did not care for it. This was an ok whisky and where I live it is on the expensive side. $50.00 a bottle. I do like the nose on this, very pear / apple like followed by some leather / earth and then kind of drops off.  Taste, a tad harsh / new and had a little burn going down. More of the leather, earth, not much smoke / peat which is what I like. Add a drop of water and it helped bring out a little more favors. I can see though that if you add to much that you would drown the flavors out. I would not buy this again unless I got it at a great price. It was my first single malt and I was not that impressed. I like more of a peat / smoke taste and this did not have it.

Fruity, sweet apples on the nose, but a bit reserved. Watery in the mouth and a mild and boring finish with a little fruit and acidity. Overall disappointing. Length: 4/10 Edit after half the bottle and with a fresh palate: very sweet, the apple runs like a red thread from nose to finish. It remains relatively mild, but I like it better today than I remember it. Grade: 3- => 3 (56 => 63)

My first Malt 45 y ago. Shortly after I had the unprecedent luck to get into the torrent of the first years of Samaroli bottlings. Of course easy to mock it, 40%, easy available. I was given a bottle at cx, and I was really surprised how good it is. A clean, malty dram, quite nice in fact.

The Glenfiddich Distillery is located north of Dufftown, on the banks of the River Fiddich. The name Glenfiddich means "valley of the deer". The distillery was founded by William Grant in 1887 and became a true family business. The fifth generation of Grant now controls the firm of William Grant & Sons Ltd. In 1963 the Glenfiddich single malt was launched. Glenfiddich's house style is, young whiskys are drying, fruity and delicious as an aperitif and older malts are more mature, with chocolate and fruit aromas and more after dinner malts. the color is golden

Not bad all in all, a whisky that does not seek to please at all costs, but follows its philosophy.

The first impression would be 80 points, even more, but then everything drops. The next day the glass no longer smacks of anything.

Surprisingly, despite its lightness, this whisky is brimming with complexity. The texture is less watery than I remembered, even displaying a slight waxiness. Dried fruits take center stage — a constant feature of Glenfiddich — but the fruity notes are not far behind, with green pear and a hint of bergamot. The finish is slightly peppery and powdery, yet not in an unpleasant way.

A decent entry-level malt overall, but it suffers from (in my opinion) being bottled at 40% ABV. Younger Glenfiddichs do fall somewhat apart for me at this strength, which is a pity, as I am sure it would have tasted a lot better at 46% ABV. A bit malty, fruity, candy-like and with a little smoke. Fairly priced, although I prefer Glengoyne 10 over Glenfiddich 12 in this price segment.

Like many of my first malt. Found him deterring. I did not try other whiskys years later and stayed true to the hobby thanks to a colleague. Light, fresh fruit taste. A little like a non-ripe pear. Hardly any finish. Although only 40% you clearly taste the alcohol. There are better whiskys for the same money. Has just established itself in the supermarket as a quick gift. Meanwhile some supermarkets are upgrading (Ardbeg, Glenmorangie etc.)

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...

Glenfiddich 12 - smooth and easy drinkable! Nose: Very light, I get fresh fruit - (mainly apples) and vanilla Mouth: No liquor, very balanced. I sense the vanilla from before, but also a nice caramel touch. Finish is semi-long, dry with a twist of oak. In general, very very easy drinkable!

Nice malty, unfortunately, the alcohol is also a bit hot, a classic bourbon whisky, but rather young, say under 12 probably even under 10. The fruits are present but rather restrained. The slightly acidic finish is interesting, but the tannins are more distracting. The nose and mouth are alike, the finish drops slightly, but is still fine as soon as the tannins retreat Notes of a blind tasting

It is consistent in taste and quality, it is not complex, it is transparent and honest about it. It is popular for this the world over. So it is doing a good job and deserving this valuation.

Glenfiddich's 12 Year Old is arguably one of Scotland's best-known and best-selling malts. In the age of NAS malts, it is almost "old" in age and is still very inexpensive. This makes it very popular with beginners. With an alcohol content of 40% vol., it is also very mild and easy to enjoy. For my taste, however, it should have been a few % vol. more.

A good everyday whisky, a good introduction to the Glenfiddich range.

Fruity, slightly oaky and citric with a hint of vanilla. Similar nose with a bit of pear. Light finish that highlights the fruits and a bit of plum.

Not bad ... But nothing special ...

C: Amber. N: definetely fresh and delicate. Fruity notes, citrus fruits: orange twist, mandarine, candied cedar and Williams pear, and finally there’s the wadding presence of candies and cotton candy. P: Very soft, very sweet. Silky body. A dram that looks like a dessert, a thousand sweety notes: vanilla, egg cream, chocolate and sponge cake; pine nuts and a spicy of nutmeg in the deep. F: In the end it demonstrate a little bit of lively with a soft spice, paprika, last notes of soft fruits. Sweet and delicate, it results likable; the combination of american and european (ex sherry) barrels is great, a good sinergy between the different two sides. The bouble aging gives a complex discreet to the distillate.

My first single Malt. As mentioned many times it is a great beginner whisky. Fresh and light, I like to drink it on warm summer days. Unfortunately, he has a relatively short, boring finish. Therefore only 79 P.

simple, good in dram to prepare the taste buds!
didi1893 Connoisseur 84 05 feb 2018 8:29 am
The nose made me very optimistic. Due to their fruity and harmonious way, I was looking forward to the first sip. But what I felt after the first sip was pure disappointment. Extremely watery and expressionless! Apart from that, I only noticed the different wood tones, woody sharpness and walnuts in the taste and aftertaste. So either I got a bad day today or that malt was just nothing. I have saved myself a little sip, this malt is crying for a second chance. Unfortunately, today there are only 79 points ...
