Yes, the special label makes it a slightly more personal gift than the standard 12 Years Old, while the flavour remains the familiar Glenfiddich style.

It is a time-limited edition, so the label is replaced or discontinued once the distillery launches a new variant.

No, it is exactly the same whisky — the difference lies solely in the label and packaging.

Is Glenfiddich 12 Years Old Limited Design a peated whisky?
