Glenfiddich Special Reserve - 12 Year Old

Glenfiddich is the world's best-selling single malt Scotch whisky, produced at the family-owned William Grant and Sons distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, where it has been operating continuously since 1887.

The 12 Year Old Special Reserve is the foundational expression of the range and serves as a genuine benchmark for the Speyside style.

It is matured in a combination of American oak ex-bourbon barrels and European oak ex-sherry casks, with the final whisky assembled in small batches by the Malt Master to ensure consistency across bottlings.

Speyside whiskies are known for their approachable, fruit-forward character, and this expression fits that profile closely, offering pear and apple notes alongside a light touch of malt and oak.

At 40% ABV, it is well-suited to both newcomers exploring single malt Scotch for the first time and experienced drinkers looking for a reliable everyday pour. The bottle is also one of the most recognizable in the category, which reflects the distillery's long-standing position in the global whisky market.

For a Kitsilano bottle shop customer building a home bar or looking for a gift that communicates quality without requiring explanation, the Glenfiddich 12 is a dependable, honest choice backed by genuine heritage and consistent production standards.
