FLAVOUR GUIDE
The best whisky without smoke
Fruit, honey, vanilla and spice—without peat dominating the glass.
Most whisky is not smoky. If peat is not your thing, these bottles show how much range remains, from crisp orchard fruit to rich sherry-cask sweetness.
Light and citrus-led
Glenmorangie Original 12 is the gentlest route: orange, peach and vanilla with no smoky detour.
BOTTLE GUIDEGlenmorangie The Original 12Vanilla · peach · citrus · €35–50→Fresh and orchard-fruity
Glenfiddich 12 brings pear, apple and clean malt. It feels drier and crisper than Glenmorangie.
BOTTLE GUIDEGlenfiddich 12Pear · fresh malt · gentle oak · €30–40→Rich and sherried
Aberlour 12 trades freshness for dried fruit, cocoa and spice. Choose it when dessert flavours appeal.
