PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY
I’ve done this lineup twice and both times I went 15, 18, 12. For the price the 15 is a beauty.
I'm actually going to do this around memorials day this year with my boys 😆😆
They won't know what hit them 😄😎
This style of video is just about my favorite! Honest discussion, just about the flavour experience. As it should be. Not price, age, or anything else. Of course when we go to buy, price has to be considered, but start just considering the full experience. Thank you so much! Cheers!
We like these kinds of videos too. It’s all about the scotch.
- Shawn
@@Scotch4Dummies I also appreciated how your group could articulate the change with water. The evolution of flavours with the 18 was impressive to hear.
Wow Drew, the editing on this video was unREAL!! very well done! Love the way you guys keep raising the quality bar. And yeah! another comparison video! Keep up the amazing work.
My second reply! No wrong answers or preferences! 12 is easy! 15 is unique! And 18 is more complex! Love the banana bread hint of the 18! Keep it up guys, lot's of fun! Cheers!😁
Just tried the 14 and the 15 last night, the 14 is one of the best whiskies I've ever had
This was by far the best video you guy's have done! I've been watching your vids for over a year now... the background music was a slam dunk...didn't over shadow...but great for a music head like myself 😄.
Please fellas, could you do a video like this for the Glenlivet 12, 18, 24 ???
I'm subscribing now 😎
Awesome video guys!
Been two years since I killed my bottle of the 15 - you guys just made me wanna buy it again
I have been thinking about the 15 again lately. This video is making me want another bottle as well.
- Shawn
So in PA right now you can get a 3-pak of 50mls on closeout for 8.99 and a 3-pak of 200mls for 24.99! So I was doing a 15/18 comparison tonight and found this. I didn't include the 12 in my tasting but I was surprised how much I agreed with your comments, in general.
Glenfiddich 12 tastes like green apple to me 🍏
Nice video! Have actually never tried Glenfiddich (since I started to love whisky at least). In Sweden these are priced really nicely! The 12 is equivilent to $38, the 15 to $48 and the 18 to $81.50. Based on your views I feel the 15 year old seems like a steal here!!
Just bought Glenfiddich 15 and cant wait to try.
I fell in love with that bottle the first time I tried it! ~Mark
I favor the 15 Solara for $49! But I really like all of them! Great video! I like comparing my bottles when I'm in a drinking mood! Cheers😁
That’s the best part of having a collection.
- Shawn
Great video.. I like the intro, really cool editing. I have tried many glenfiddichs and I think bang for the buck the 15 solera is great. The 14 is great too. This is a really good way to review scotches!
LOVE the 15!! :-) ~Mark
I grabbed the Glenfiddich 18 Small Batch and can't wait to crack it open.
Great review guys. I am surprised when at 19:45 you discuss prices. Near me the 12 is $27 not $50 the 15 is $48 not $70 and the regular 18 is $77 these are Total Wine prices so they can be lower than small stores. Have not had these yet except the 12 so may have to try especially for the price. Cheers.
Donner Pass Whiskey lucky basterd where i live the 18 year old is like 150 to 170 dollars
In North Carolina the 12 is about $50 so picture the price for the other two 😓
Great video, boys. Blind tastings always bring interesting results. Cheers!
They're really fun, but when you participate you have to accept the fact that you may surprise yourself.... Or look like a dummy... Like in this video, I was CERTAIN I knew which one was the 18.... POSITIVE.... Ya', positively WRONG, LOL! Good time for sure! ~Mark
Interesting blind challenge... I have had the12 several times, and the 15 once. It did not impress me... I still have a sealed bottle of the 18, and I'm looking forward to trying it and splashing a bit of water into it. This is one good video!
Good review, for some reason, and I’m not a drinker at all, but for some reason i really want to get into scotch tasting and eventually have a collection of good scotch’s. Video helped for sure
Try the newer video we did with the national ambassador Dan Crowell. We go through the whole line. Very informative
- Shawn
18,15,... 12 for me. But when I got started with single malts the 15 was my fav. of those 3
We drank our share of 15 also.
- Shawn
Love the video! I'd love to see more like this with one dummy giving the others a blind taste test. Cool format.
My other favorite Glenfiddich is the 14 Bourbon Barrel. Good stuff, but it seems to not be as widely available as these other three. And it's a US exclusive.
We rotate which dummy is up for "individual" video's...this was Drew's! It is fun to mix it up. As for the 14 BB... I honestly didn't care so much for that one, which is pretty strange as I do like me some Fiddich! ~Mark
I never thought I’d have a craving for GF. Great video. Solera is $80 And 18 small batch is $179 in Ontario so I think I have my answer. Cheers.
It is always interesting to go back to bottles you used to love but haven’t had in a while. This one was a lot of fun.
- Shawn
I was waiting for this review. Thank you
I love your reviews guys. Have been enjoying this one with my own first steps in comparing whiskeys: a Glenfiddich 12 and a Johnnie Walker Black Label. Both really enjoyable and good value for money. After watching this, a Glenfiddich 18 might be on my way. Cheers!
Nice video guys, love the comparison. I have to disagree on the 12. I find it a bit rough but not in a good way. I recently attended a whisky festival where I voiced my concerns to the Glenfiddich rep. She had me try some of the new expressions which really did not sway me at all. I now wish I'd tried the 15 and 18 after watching this. Glenfiddich definitely has a taste profile from what I've tasted which I'm not the biggest fan of. Think I'll try and pick up an 18 in a deal here in Scotland.
Binnys!!! Wi guy here but I love Binnys! I love all three and have them but the 12 is my favorite. I love the white fruit taste. I get pear big time and that's one of my favorite fruits.
Yeah I am new to whisky since I decided to cut Coke out of my drinks and must say I am enjoying the journey. Started with Johnny Green label then had a go at Monkey Shoulder since I had heard good things about it then I went on to a bottle of Cardhu 12yr which I just finished which left me at the Store trying to decide whether it was going to be Glenfiddich 12yr or 15yr, I went with the 12yr thinking if I like that then I would do 15 and maybe 18 later. Must say I am thoroughly enjoying it and after your review I will be taking a bottle of the 15yr after all as soon as this one is finished which won't be long.
Welcome to the journey! Sounds like you are on the right track and have so many good ones to still try. Enjoy!
-Shawn
Coke destroys the whiskey flavors. It should only be mixed with low quality spirits where it helps the drink by destroying the flavor!
This is probably ya'll best video to date! 4 out 4 (Math is Easy 😄)
This music should be the music for EVERY Comparison show! Nice!
It's the S4D standard! I'm calling it 😄
We need a comparison episode for Dalmore 12, 15, & 18 😎😎😎 🥃
Aberlour 12, 16, 18 😎😎😎 🥃
Three staples for any bar. I'm out of the 18 right now but will remedy that soon enough. Luckily the 15yo is always on sale in my state for about $45 and I can catch the 12yo for $32 sometimes. The 18yo runs $110-$115. All worthy and I agree the order of preference can change on any given day depending on mood.
Why don't you put up the S4D logo on the TV. Better than having a blank TV...
Outstanding job fellas! Really enjoyed it!!!
This format is fun! Thanks!! ~Mark
All 3 are really good. First time I tried all 3 from a sampler pack at the same time I went 15,18,12. The 18 was the smoothest but the 15 had a more flavor and better flavor. A couple of other times I felt the 18 was as good as the 15 but the 15 is a better value. I recently bought the 15 and a while before that picked up a bottle of 14 and they have been added to the rotation.
The 15 was so much better before they started finishing it in sherry casks. IMO it was the perfect Speyside whisky.
Cool twist to the channel. I liked it. I wouldve liked to see what wouldve hapoened if u didnt know what Distillery it was.Thought it was funny that mark keep thinking he knew what they were half way thru just to be wrong. Lol.
I really enjoy the 18 with a splash of water in my state pa.its 43 avb and 89$ to 99$ on sale ,it's great for a non peated whisky I'll give you a suggestion for a video like this try the speyburn it comes in 10 and 15 and 1 n.a.s. and it's pretty good
We have them all sitting on the bar. Check out our recent live with Steph Ridgway to see us taste the lineup.
- Shawn
Like cocktials of gledfdich
daniel burns how much water do you add
Great concept vid i love it
This is such a great idea. Please do more videos like this🍻.
(What's tequila? It's like beer😉)
Thanks, we're always workin' on something!!! ~Mark
Great video guys, watching it and drinking some 15 solera...
Mark your comment, "I'm back with my girl becasue it's cheaper"...
Good one...
But for me the 18 is better
the 12 year is about $36 where im from and it probably goes in like $15-20 jumps after that
I've not had the 18 yet, but both the 15, and 12 are always on sale at Carmel Miejer. 12 is almost always $41-$44. The 15 got for $55-$62ish? Both are fantastic easy drinkers. The 15 definitely is better in taste. I'd say get both. start the night with 1-2 15, then finish a night off with the 12 the rest of the way. My 2 cents. Always enjoy your guys shows. Keep on rockin.
The 18 is worth a try as well. All good bottles from a good distillery.
- Shawn
Scott If you are interested we are doing a Highland Park tasting dinner on November 30. Tickets are on our website. Would love to see a lot of local people join us.
- Shawn
@@Scotch4Dummies I'm looking into that.
Great video. I wish I could give it 10 thumbs up.
Nice review
Great review, thumb up guys
Great fun, I like the Solera version, but really dislike the 12. Just too sour and bitter for me. Have not tried the 18, which runs $120 in DC area.
Glenfiddich 15 might be my favourite whisky to come out of Speyside, I love the 12 and I can kinda take or leave the 18 but that’s just a man’s own opinion.
I live 80 miles from the distillery and only get 40% on the 18 and you guys get 43! Somethings wrong here!
Peter Hoyer with all the overcast days a petition to the local gov should not be out of the question. 🤣
The 15 year is a Solera Vat, I is huge wooden vat, that contains various age statements blended together. It is a smooth, fruity, sweet Scotch.
Real-Batman I would use the word ‘blended’ carefully here
It's all 15 years old in the Glenfiddich solera vat..
Great episode, guys. Love having head-to-head notes on classic, readily available options like this. Oh, and First :D
Thanks Steve! ~Mark
Great guy good wishky glendfdich ashwani thakur
Your blind comparison was a great idea. No brand name, no age, no price. Simply compare on the basis of nose and palate.
Your results square with my own impressions of Glenfiddich 12, 15, and 18. All are good, and the 18 shines with a bit of water.
Glenfiddich do not make junk. Even the 12 is quite good. There are good reasons why Glenfiddich is a giant.
Of those three I say buy the 15
yup the 15 is a big step up from the 12 and the 18 is way overpriced for what it is.
Always enjoyed the 15.
- Shawn
15 too smooth but 12 is really good and 18 is really good but expensive
Glenfiddich 15 year old Solera is an exceptional whisky for its price of under £40
Why does the audio sound so bad with that huge mic?
Good
People need to stop looking at colour as a basis of quality- especially when you dont know what youre tasting. With everyone adding E150 and all sorts of other shite, its completley pointless
You're a fuckin' good solid team folk!))) Always watch ya from Russia)
Glennfidich......quality and quantity. 🖒
Double the price on every one here in NZ😬
Damn, that's disappointing...
Ima buy the 50 with coke pls
Things we could do with friends bedore Covid19 . Sit around and taste whisky with friends...from the same glass.
That last part is pretty gross to me though, even before Covid I would have wanted my own glass lol
Glenfiddich ruined the 15 ! It tastes like fabric softener now.
Love the vid but the third guy smells saliva.
The 12 is around 27 bucks here in The Netherlands 👍🏻
