Отзывы на Glenfiddich 12-year-old (WB 77.63, 266 оценок) в целом описывают его как лёгкий, простой и легко пьющийся виски с фруктово-солодовым профилем, но с коротким финишем и иногда горьковатой древесиной.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах повторяются ноты яблока и груши, ванили, мёда, цитрусовых и солода — например, (85), (81), (79) и (78) прямо перечисляют эти дескрипторы в носе и вкусе. Несколько отзывов характеризуют виски как лёгкий и простой: (77) называет его «молодым, лёгким, незамысловатым», (78) — «лёгким для повседневного драмма», (80) — «приличным введением в мир виски». При этом часть отзывов указывает на недостаток сложности и короткий финиш: (80) отмечает нехватку сложности во вкусе и лёгкий финиш, (76) — «Aftertaste-Short», (81) — «short, spicy, toffee», (85) — «finish is short and slightly woody at the end». Критические отзывы упоминают резкость и горькую древесину: (76) пишет о «harsh prickly young grain taste», (64) — о «very burning, a lot of bitter oak, few fruit aromas», (78) — о горькой и кислой древесине в финише.
Разброс оценок в текстах — от 64 до 85, и часть отзывов сравнивает разные партии или версии: один из отзывов предпочитает «почти историческую» бутылку текущей версии, ещё один отзыв сравнивает с более новым Glenfiddich 12 и отмечает больше крема и карамели, другой отзыв считает старую версию «значительно хуже новых розливов (с 2014)», а (80) усредняет оценки трёх партий 2003–2005 (80, 83, 77). Отзывы без оценки также негативны или сдержанны. Таким образом, в текстах виден скорее разброс мнений о конкретных партиях и версиях, чем единый консенсус, хотя фруктово-солодовый профиль и лёгкость упоминаются неоднократно.

Bottle code: L31P 49032311 A beautiful standard with the distinctive pear notes that I love so much in Glenfiddich. I like this (almost historic) bottle better than the current version. On the palate, it's noticeably fuller and has more depth overall.

| Нос | 86 | A very pleasant fruity nose - very balanced. Vanilla, lots of pear, applesauce, caramel, honey, a splash of lemon juice, malt, orange juice, pickled ginger, oak spice. |
| Вкус | 85 | Relatively full and creamy in the mouth; the low bottling strength is not disturbing. Vanilla, pears, candied orange peel, caramel, citrus notes, plate cake, malt, linen cloth, light leather, apple pie, mineral notes, oak spice. |
| Финиш | 85 | Medium-length finish. Vanilla, green pear, apple pie, dried grapefruit, malt, oak spice. |
80/100 as there is some lacking complexity on the taste portion and a light finish.

20 18 19 19 76 indistinct nose, but it did not foreshadow what happened next ... harsh prickly young grain taste, ok, you can drink it but you don't need it at all, there is no pleasure, it's a pity, this is clearly an unsuccessful batch, or even in 2002 the quality was not very good? sad ... maybe someone drinks with cola this drink will suit, but excuse me ...
I can hardly understand an average rating of not even 78 points. I can already enjoy this whisky, especially on the nose, and today I compare it with a newer Glenfiddich 12 (WB134047). This one shows a bit of the history of the whisky industry, because the higher proportion of (good) sherry casks is noticeable and the bottle maturation, which I believe in, has done the rest.

| Нос | 87 | A balanced Speysider profile with clear cream, caramel and vanilla notes. The grassy notes are much less pronounced than in the comparison Glenfiddich 12. The body is almost full and oily. |
| Вкус | 85 | 84.5 Here, too, rather thin, but significantly less woody and a little sweeter than the comparison whisky. Those were definitely better barrels 20 years ago. Here for me again a clear difference to today's Glenfiddich 12, much less woody and grassy. Much more cream and caramel. Still not spectacular overall. But already close to a whisky that you can also enjoy on the palate. |
| Финиш | 84 | 83.5 The mouthfeel is oily, but the finish is short and slightly woody at the end. |
Official notes: "Glenfiddich Special Reserve is the definitive 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky. Tasting notes: A fresh and fruity nose with a touch of pear. It has distinctive, well balanced taste with rich fruit flavours, subtle pine and a hint of peatiness.

A young, light, uncomplicated dram.
- a well-known standard single malt, but there are better 12 J. Old Standard Whisky - I did not find this bottling in the black can convincing - very burning, a lot of bitter oak, few fruit aromas - significantly worse than the newer bottlings (from 2014)
Whisky tasting, Café de Toeter in Groningen, 27-12-2015 Not really good, was welcome drink
Blind tasting. I did not even find the nose bad. Even if she is not spectacular. In the mouth but he then duly and after the departure I do not like it.

A decent introduction into a world of whiskies.
Body: lean and smooth. Oily maltiness.
The nose is wonderful, good old classic malt. However the palate and finish leave you with a sour taste.

| Нос | 86 | Malty with plenty of fruitiness, I'm getting green apples and some hints of pineapple. A little dust with added notes of citrus. Definitely has an air of "old whisky" about it. |
| Вкус | 78 | Oily palate, plenty of power not as flat as you'd expect from a 40%. First notes to arrive are that of bitter oak and a box of old oats and malt. Little orange peel and some lemony notes. |
| Финиш | 70 | A little sharp on the finish, , a big hint of bitterness and sour oak. |
