Glenfiddich Special Reserve 12 Year Old

Whisky drinkers conjure up all kinds of images. From retired, bumbling drunken characters from the Paul Whitehouse school of comedy genius to Injuns drinkin’ the ‘ole fire water whilst the cowboys steal their guns. I’d like to think that I don’t fit into either category but then you never know how metaphorically people may view you. The truth in all of this is I like whisky. If I’m honest, I’m hardly a connoisseur and this is made obvious by my rather uncouth longing for blended whisky as opposed to malt.

Glenfiddich is the perfect blend of availability, quality, and value for the beginner scotch drinker. This simple single malt has been around for a century, and comes from the Speyside glen of the river Fiddich, hence the name.

I have to admit to having a weakness for whisky. I?m not a big drinker, but when the cold weather comes I do like to get a good single malt whiskey in to fight off the cold nights.

There is a crest with a ...  Read the complete review
