I bought a bottle of 12 yr Glenfiddich (when the bottles were triangles and the containers were round) back in 1976 and was saving it for my unplanned "future" wedding. Somewhere in the 80's, my alcoholic stepmother found it in a box of stored stuff and drank it like cheap beer, probably not even slowing down enough to taste it and totally clueless as to what she was chugging. I still imagine what it must have tasted like. 😢

The 12 was my first scotch bottle. Never disappointed

My little twins are a product of a 15 year old Glenfiddich. Great video mates👍

Love my 18 year!!! Had 25 and 50 year in Dubai. Truly an experience.

Thanks so much guys. I always wondered why my beloved 15 yr was so different compared to the 12, 14, and 18 year versions. Blindly tasting and preferring the 15, then the 18, then the 12 and finally the 14 was a mystery. I have had both Select and Reserve. If you can find the reserve, buy it. The select might as well be the basic 12.

25y ago I was working in London on a building site with a mate , and was staying in a very expensive hotel , due to being on expenses, I ordered a glenfidy n lemonade , in the very expensive hotel bar, and I had never tasted such a smooth , flavoured , lovely whiskey, the lemonade was in small bottles of shweeeps, I intended on just having one before bed, but we stayed there till the early hours, just savouring the drink, excellent,

I only tried the 12 and I’m really satisfied with it. The apple note is just lushing and the finish is good enough for me not to thing of anything better. Ignorant is bliss!

The 15 is my favourite in terms of 'bang for your buck'. If the 18 was higher ABV, even 43%, it would push the 15 close. Glenfiddich is one of the distilleries that still uses direct fired stills along with Macallan, Glenfarclas and Springbank that I know of. They say that this process gives more depth of flavour and complexity. I think if Glenfiddich presented their whisky at a higher ABV and without chill filtration and colouring it would be a thing of beauty. Great show guys.

The 14 year is also easily found in Canada! It’s one of my favourites.

Very nice video! Always wanted to try but never knew where to start now i do

Just bought a bottle of Reserve Cask, I like it alot! Also have a original twelve on the shelf, ofc.

Thanks guys, enjoyed your effort

Love these full line up videos!

Sweet, I was able to find the select cask on a local retailer, along with a lot of the special editions! Thanks for all the info

I’ve been there .in one word “Magnificent”

There was actually a third "Age of Discovery", a red wine finish. I do have the AoD Madeira, and it is indeed a nice dram.

Wow this video really took off 80k views! I hadn't checked your subscriber count for a few months and was thinking it 10k or so but dang 25k+ congrats fellas

I've seen the Fire and Cane on the shelf at my local and shied away from it, but your description makes me want to at least try it. Thanks

One of my favourites love all their ranges

i always keep a bottle of the 14 year old bourbon barrel finish because almost all my friends are bourbon or irish wiskeey drinkers so the glenfiddich 14 is a nice dram to start introducing scotch to your friends while also still being able to enjoy it yourself. If i had to drink glen 14 everyday i would not be upset its a beautiful light spirt with alot of hints of pears and honey for me

Question guys: I was lucky enough to have some of the Select Cask recently and loved it. Unfortunately since - as you said - it's a travel exclusive, I can't find it anywhere... which other Glenfiddich would you recommend to me if I really liked the Select Cask. Thank you!

Project XX is my favourite, cinnamon and vanilla notes make it smell and taste like whiskey heaven, simply love it!

I love the 26 year old bottle, will buy another one one day

I have two comments. First a solera is a system of interconnected casks that are used to age Spanish sherry. The youngest wine is poured into the top of the system, and the aged wine is drawn from the bottom. Second, a bottle that I try to have at all times is a liter of Grant's. This whisky is a blend that I understand is made by Glenfiddich. It has the triangular bottle that is or was typical of the Glenfiddich line. The attraction for this retired teacher is that Trader Joe's has the Grant's liter bottle for $15.

Great! Video fellas... love these type of videos. May I suggest The Dalmore or Aberlour next? Maybe Glenlivet?

Absolutely lovely, all of them. Even my dad liked it and mooched almost the entirety of my 18 off of me 😂

The 18yo was my favorite Glenfiddich but the Macallan for me is my best of choice.

Great info! Thank you guys

Awesome comprehensive overview of the entire range guys. I have two of those 19 yo age of discovery (red wine cask, and Madeira cask). Both are really good, especially the Madeira. Would be nice if the abv were a tad higher. Also, the 14 yo bourbon cask is definitely available in Ontario, Canada. It is generally highly regarded. Cheers gents 🥃🇨🇦🇺🇲

Thank you so much for this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

KZfaq Recommendation on point for the start of the New Year!

Love the Glenfiddich 15 year. About the best I can afford in the U.S.. If I was still making submarine patrols out of Holy Loch, would go for Bells.

Ive got the 14 and 15 on my shelf. A good daily drinker from Speyside. well done fellas

There is a travel retail Glenfiddich Single Malt 15 Year Old Distillery Edition 1 L 51% abv. I have yet to uncork the bottle. Thanks guys for sharing your scotch journey.

Great Video once again. Good to see some more experienced Whiskydrinkers who appreciate Glenfiddich. Though you have missed a bottle in the Cask Collection Range. It´s called Vintage Cask and is actually a peated Glenfiddich. I can tell you: It´s very delicous!! And just so different from the rest of the range.

I don't know how I get here. That said, excelente video!

The 50 that was in an LCBO in Toronto was stolen years ago :(

Picked up 18 for 55 eur, about a price of Laga 16. It's really nothing to be amazed about, yet can't find anything to complain about either. This bottle serves its original purpose perfectly. I get it, cask strength is the goal, but when you just wanna take a break from sherry bombs, you can't go wrong with 18 or in my case I also always keep a bottle of Teerenpeli Kaski. Really wanna try a Winter Storm or any other ice wine finish, since I heard it's disappointing. Unfortunately it's nowhere to be found. IPA, XX, Fire & Cane ofc are already pre-ordered. Travel retail will be mine as soon as lock down is lifted. Overall, everything that I had from Glenfiddich so far was totally worth it.

One of my most favorite whiskey brands

Coming back at this in 2022. In Virginia the range starts at $65. Fun fact.

thanks for this info :)

Oh there's also the new 23 year old Grand Cru and the 26 year old Excellence. In my area they are $330 and $500 respectively. I was curious and looked it up and found 40 Year old for $3899.99.

VERY enjoyable VIDEO to wash ,.. THANKS !!

I had the pleasure to taste the Grand Cru, a very pleasant dram with a french toast aroma and quite a tart quality to it. According to Glenfiddich's rep, it's finished in Champagne cask (but apparently they can't label it this way due to Champagne name regulations).

Love to see a review of the Grand Cru!

I have the 8 years old and the 18 excelence and they are really good.

Got myself the 12, 15, 18, 21 and 26 year sitting up on my whiskey shelf. Just waiting for the 30 to be on special so I can pick that one up next. 26 is amazing, so I am really looking forward to the 30.

I actually visited the distillery a few years back

The twelve for $35? Where? Maybe the 350ml bottle but not the 750ml!

Scotch is my favourite sipping whiskey , love all frim Spreyside . Esp. Lagavaulen !

Thanks guys

My fav!

one of my fav. brands of wiskey, hope to get the winter strom some day

Amazing. I happened to be one of the whisky experts invited to create ProjectXX. Representing Africa.

Good work lads.

Picked up the 30 year but it cost me more than $500, also picked up the Grand Cru. Can’t wait to try them!

There are 3 whiskies in the NAS Travel retail series. The Reserve Cask, Select Cask and Vintage Cask as part of the Cask series. Wish we could get the 14 year old here in South Africa.

Oh yeah, Glenfiddich is more my cup of tea! I love the 12 year & 15 yo, but the blue cask is amazing as well! Can find it all around Asia, Duty Frees in Middle East and even in Madagascar, quite affordable! Get it if you can! Leckerrrr 🥃😁👌

I have actually seen the 14 in the UK, back when i bought my first bottle of Glenfiddch 12 i did see the 14 but decided to start with the 12 first.

Does anyone know for how long did they age the IPA whiskey before finishing it for 3 months?

I have the glenfiddich small batch reserve bottle in my hand right now and the bottle says it is 43 percent abv

Thanks guys - can you add more explanation on flavours per bottle when doing reviews

Is there anything out there affordable, as smooth as Jonny Walker Blue??

Travel retail has a 3rd expression - Vintage Cask - which is peated, and AMAZING. If not for the highish price, I'd buy it every time I go through the airport.

I get this in Canada I've gone threw two bottles...anyway great video as always Cheers guys!

I saw winter storm and IPA at my LCBO when I bought my Glenfiddich 12 and definitely want to buy them now!

Love the 18y😁

I do love glenfiddich my favourite brand i do have to say if scotch for dummies want a sample of winter storm let me know lol

Looks like they now bottle the 21 yr rum cask Gran Reserva in 43.2% ABV. I picked it up at a duty free in Seattle for $170 as a gift for my father in law 😊

The best blended scotch was Kings Ransom produced by Whilliam Whitely of Leith That subsequently became The Edradour Distillery which now produces a single malt Scotch Edradour is the smallest distillery in scotland and from the taste of the product it is pretty clear it was the predominent scotch used to make Kings Ransom

There are three age of discovery releases. Bourbon, Madeira and Red Wine. I have a couple of Madeira release if you want one?

12 year became the today's chivas in my country. Relatively cheap for a premium whisky can't go wrong as a Christmas gift. I prefer 18 which was around 50 euro and it is very smooth..

Reserve cask is easily available at New Delhi, India Airport store for around $130 for 2.

Picked up the Original last year in the UK on offer, wouldn't pay the full price for it, just an average whisky in my opinion guys. The Project XX and the 15 Solera are my favourite Glenfiddich's.

Thanks. I been drinking Knob Creek for awhile now, so I decidedto pick up a 14 yo bottle . Than realizedI know little about the drink , and discovered this video. You did great job guys at giving me more info than I though I wanted.

I loved the IPA edition - for me it hit all those fruity notes you'd expect to associate with a IPA palet

I found a 40 in a borderstore between denmark and germany, think they sold it for around 4000 dollars.

I Live in Canada The 19-year-old bourbon cask is my favorite bottle I own 100 of them

At $30, Glenfiddich 12 will always remain a staple in my home bar. Glenfiddich 15 is nice, but out of the whole range suffers the most from being 40% in my opinion. It's such a great profile yet feels so watered down. Would love to see a 46% version of this. 18 year is definitely a nice further maturation of the 12 with a higher sherry content and for $90, it's definitely one of the most affordable 18 years you can get in my area. Would love to see a 46% version of it too. When it comes to the 14 year, I had one bottle I enjoyed and one I did not. Not sure what that was about. I've always heard the 12 year was a 90%/10% split of ex-bourbon/ex-oloroso with the 18 year being 80%/20% split. Not sure if that's true or not. Out of the Experimental Series, I've only tried the IPA and Fire & Cane. I really did not like the IPA one, but I am not a big IPA beer fan so maybe that was why. I thought the Fire & Cane was a bit unharmonious, yet I really enjoy it. It is experimental after all and I appreciate Glenfiddich trying different things like that. Will probably try the Project XX next.

Worked at the Fiddich for a while and I love the 15 yr old. 18 yr old good as is the 12 yr old. But I love the 15.

I still have a 18 YO that came in their classic triangulated round box.

I like the fire & Cane

Does 14 year old glenfiddich taste any better than 15 year old glenfiddich l didn’t like taste of 15 year old had a acid burn taste to it? I got rid of acid burn taste when mixed some blended scotch in it then it was drinkable!?

So my bro bought me a 26 rare oak for my birthday and I can’t go back. It was the best bottle of whisky I’ve ever had. I don’t know which one to downgrade to 😢, or I’m gonna go broke

been drinking the 14 for years here in Australia

Can you do a video on the Glenlivet series..great videos btw

At a tasting for our upcoming wedding, I spotted they had they grand cru, after having a couple drams the bottle was about just under 2/3rd’s left, I offered the manager 100 pound for the bottle which he accepted 😍. Did I get a steal

I've been wanting to get into scotch/whiskey drinking for a couple months now. I was looking at the glenfiddich 12 yesterday and nearly bought it for my first bottle. I went for the haig clubman instead though, not sure why its just stood out to me, it was ok, ot hasn't put me off but not rushing to try more either. For a beginner which one you recommend?

I just bought an 18 year old and it is in a triangle box. I’m in Canada so our prices very different. The 21 year old is hard to get and goes for just under $400. Great video guys!

Please do an Oban for Dummies!

I accidentally drank the rest of a bottle of Glenfiddich Special Old Reserve that wasnt mine when i was drunk thinking i could just go to the store and replace it with the 12year gelnfiddich. Anyways its not the same and I cant find it anywhere. Is it actually special and old? I think i really fucked up.

just got the 14 in France (supermarket, no fancy liquor shop), so I'm pretty sure it's not US exclusive , at least not anymore

There is another bottle I was fortunate enough to taste in Basel, Switzerland - Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix. Absolutely spectacular!

Is glennfiddich sold on Canada

I'll take it

Only had 12 and 14 so far. 12 was decent as an entry level Scotch but the price had already gone up to $40-45/bottle when I got it around the time this video was released. 14 is leagues better and I got it for about $5 off putting it barely higher price than the 12. Hope I can grab the 15 at a reasonable price soon, I think I've been seeing it in the $70 range. The 18 being close to $100.

I have an unopened bottle of 30YO I bought in Schiphol airport in 2001. I’m saving it for a special occasion. I’m afraid that special occasion will be my funeral and I’ll die never having tasted it. I had better get to drinking soon!

Great rundown guys! The Project XX is the only Glenfiddich I've had that I like, it's a solid pour. But their core range is just not for me, even for the prices. I've had the 12,14 and 15... Give me Glenmorangie for the same price or even cheaper. GlenMo 10 > Feddic 12. GlenMo Lasanta > Feddic 14. GlenMo Quinta Ruban > Feddic 15. Definitely try that Project XX, Cheers!

I got a bottle of "small batch 18" and it's in a dark dark blue triangle bottle. It's 43% abv. It says, "after 18 years in oloroso sherry and Bourbon casks, our aged malts are married in small batches for a rich and elegant complexity." Why is does it not have a brown label?!?! Is the one in this video better on your opinion? And it doesn't say small batch "reserve." But it does have this bottle pictured on their website if i click 18 year under their flagship scotches

No Glenfidich Vat 01 or 02?
