Glenfiddich 12 YO Sherry Cask takes the distillery’s best known Speyside single malt and finishes it in rare Amontillado sherry casks after its initial maturation. That finishing period adds a layer of dried fruit and spice on top of the pear and gentle fruit character the standard 12 Year Old is known for. It suits drinkers who already enjoy Glenfiddich’s easy, approachable style but want the added richness a sherry cask brings.
