Glenfiddich 12Yr American Oak is a single malt Scotch whisky that has been meticulously matured for at least 12 years in American Oak casks. This particular aging process imparts a unique flavor profile to the whisky, characterized by its rich fruitiness and subtle oak undertones. The use of American Oak casks, which are known for their ability to impart strong vanilla and caramel notes, gives this whisky an added layer of complexity and depth.
On the nose, Glenfiddich 12Yr American Oak presents an inviting bouquet of orchard fruits like pear and apple, complemented by subtle hints of butterscotch and cream. On the palate, it unfolds with a harmonious blend of sweet fruitiness and delicate spice from the oak. The finish is long-lasting with lingering notes of fresh pear and subtle oak spice. This whisky’s balance between fruity sweetness and spicy oak makes it an excellent choice for both novice drinkers exploring single malts as well as seasoned connoisseurs seeking a classic Speyside dram.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
