Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is the world's most iconic entry-level single malt Scotch whisky — and the expression that first put Speyside on the global map when Glenfiddich pioneered single malt marketing in 1963. Matured for a minimum of 12 years in hand-selected American oak and European oak ex-sherry casks in Speyside's famous Valley of the Deer, it delivers a beautifully fresh, approachable character that has introduced millions worldwide to the pleasures of single malt Scotch. Crisp fresh pear and apple blossom on the nose lead to a subtly creamy vanilla palate with soft oak and a clean, delicate finish — the ideal gateway single malt.
