- Description
- Glenfiddich's 12-year-old Toasted Oak Reserve was matured in specially charred 195-litre bourbon barrels, adding darker wood character and deeper vanilla notes to the distillery's signature profile. The toasted oak influence brings caramel, honey, and light spice to complement the baseline fruity, floral Speyside character. The texture is smooth and approachable, with a warm, lingering finish. Best enjoyed by those exploring how cask innovation shapes Glenfiddich's core expression.
