BOTTLE COMPARISON
Glenfiddich 12 vs Glenmorangie 12
Two famous beginner malts separated by fruit, texture and mood.
Neither bottle needs defending and neither is universally superior. Both are accessible single malts; one is crisp and pear-led, the other softer and more citrus-creamy.
Choose Glenfiddich 12 if…
You want fresh pear, apple, malt and a slightly drier, cleaner shape. It is a useful Speyside reference point.

Pour small measures side by side. Smell before tasting, add the same amount of water to each, and decide which one you want a second sip of—not which sounds more prestigious.
