Aside from being different, I find that it isn’t as complex as the 12 and 15. The flavors are just more pleasant, thus easier to enjoy. After the cask flavors run out, though, there’s a sudden stop. If you were to ask me my ranking of the three, I’d say 15 > 18 > 12. First in the ring is Glenfiddich 12 yo, an integral part of the renowned Glenfiddich core range. Known for its distinctive triangular-shaped bottles, Glenfiddich has earned its stripes as one of the world’s best-selling single malt brands.

Though the act would ultimately be successful, its impact was slow. The Caledonian Mercury reported on Saturday 24 January 1824 that an exciseman by the name MacTavish made a “seizure of smuggled whisky of unusual magnitude”. Their rather sanctimonious report stated that Glenlivet was the only district left in the Highlands where this “illicit and demoralising system is carried on to any great extent” and that “the joint fruits of the smugglers’ labour were conveyed to different parts of the low country, by bands of people far too numerous and powerful for any attempt at seizure by a single officer.” MacTavish it seems, was a wily sort however, and he chose instead to tail one such band until they stopped for the night. When the smugglers woke in the morning, they “found themselves minus 20 Scots ankers of pure Glenlivet”.

If you're wondering what a peaty whisky might taste like, it's basically smoke: the barley that Scotch whisky is made of used to be dried over peat fires, which gives the liquor a rich, smoky flavor (per World Whisky Day). Nowadays, the use of peat is discouraged due to its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and Speyside whiskies have become lighter and sweeter due to this change in the distillation process. The best glass for enjoying The Glenlivet is a tulip glass. A tulip glass enhances the aromas of the whisky, allowing you to appreciate the full flavor profile of The Glenlivet.

The Glenlivet 12 Double Oak is now the regular expression of the 12 year old – it’s matured in European and American Oak casks. It’s all the same familiar flavors, scents, and finishes from what you expect from the 12 year old.
