depends if they're a whisky drinker or not i guess?
the 18 isn't bad.
i didn't think much to the experimental series (fire & cane, IPA) stuff.
the 12 is pretty rubbish - sort of stuff you get from a relative at x-mas who knows you like whisky but doesn't drink it themselves...edit should qualify my statement, when i say the 12 is rubbish, i mean a bit boring taste wise. not a lot of depth etc. there are nicer alternative blends at a similar pricepoint IMO

Nothing wrong with Glenfiddich, never going to be mind blowing perfectly decent for a whisky that you can get cheap and pretty much everywhere. I've found the quality of the 12 to vary a bit over the years but I think that's due to the insane quantities that are produced more than anything.
Nothing wrong with wanting an age statement, there are exceptions but a hell of a lot of them are simply passing off young (and not very good) for a price they wouldn't be able to if it had the true age on it.

Is Glenfiddich any good?
I have always discounted it, likely because growing up there was a bottle in our cupboard, next to a bottle of Bells, and neither ever got drunk, so I assumed it was also a shit bottle.
Recently MrsDeth asked me for a recommendation as a leaving gift for someone in her company.
Someone had suggested a Glenfiddich and I started questioning which of us was a madman.
