glenfiddich 12 year old single malt scotch whisky

I love Glenfiddich, but...

I absolutely love the product, but it cheap out in the wrong place. Presentation matters, especially with whisky. Everything is so well done, with the exception of the stag sticker. It is a sticker. The bottle shape is unique, seemingly designed for an easy pour. It is corked, which is my preference. The front label is nicely done with a simple, yet informative description of the product and the product is amazingly well made and balanced. Then comes the awkward stag (or whatever you call it in Scotland) sticker, stuck right between the 12 year cork label and the bottle label. It is such a detraction from all the rest, which is so very well done and the stag design is even impressive. Why?

This certainly is different

This certainly is different but here goes. The nose is ever so sweet ,sharp citrus almost takes your breath away. The whiskey is thick and lush on the pallet . There are glennfiddich signature notes here combined with a maltiness ,I'm convinced I can taste hops there's a bitter sweet aspect to it . It can feel a bit furry walnuts comes to mind ,it ends with a sweet peppery burn on the tip of your tongue. The finish is long this thing has some age to it and certainly is a chest warmer . The addition of water opens the sweet aspect to this whiskey and shuts down the pepper. The joy it brings is that it lingers . It is different it ,there are some complexities to it , whisky nuts will be entertained by it .
