#057  Glenfiddich Special Reserve 12 YO Single Malt Scotch (Speyside)
This cost is what I found the likely shelf price for a 750ml bottle to be, based on an average of costs throughout the USA. Your price may differ significantly. This is not an advertisement of sale, this bottle is likely empty by now anyway Cost$4000Bottle Image. Image is © Practical Whisky.

NotesI'm not sure when Link to another reviewGlenfiddich 12 SR replaced Link to another reviewGlenfiddich NAS SR but it seems to have been a good thing. Also, having added liqueurs to my range I've started close to home with Link to another reviewBaileys standard version. Yeah, its not a mini but I passed up the opportunity to buy a mini before adding them to the available whiskies.
SmellBitter sharp and woody, lots of burn covering up whatever else is in there. Flat.
TasteOpens predictably, alcohol and malt and oak produce a prickly burn without much warmth. Dry white wine and a light sweet flavor, maybe raisins. Cooked raisins. The finish fades through a modest burn of smoke and ends with butterscotch or toffee and a lingering tingle. The taste is similar to the old SR, but the burn is a bit better so it'll earn a few points. It didn't impress me like the Link to another review15yo CS but it is somewhere in the recommendable range. Mid 60s.
