The Aberfeldy distillery is nestled in the foothills of the central Highlands, and has been in operation since it was founded in 1898. Matured for a generous 21 years, this single malt boasts classic Highland character with layers of heather honey, nutty malt, and zesty fruit, joined by a rich depth of dried fruits and delicate smoke.
Runny honey, dried fruits, and biscuity malt enlivened by a fresh, zesty quality, and notes of waxed citrus.
Silky vanilla and creamy oak lead to refined smoke, with notes of marzipan, candied orange, and floral fruit.
Ripe white peach, sultanas, and a good wave of honey, a smidge of wood smoke, backed up by caramelised almonds and a touch of toasted coconut.
£5.16 - £41.95
In short, this whisky is very balanced and very smooth with depth, but there is nothing about this whisky that lingers in the memory. Even at the prior 99 dollar pricing, this was a questionable value buy, but now at the current 149 dollar US price, it's a definite no buy. The only reason I would buy another bottle is if I were trying to purchase a nice single-malt scotch for a non-whisky drinker. I consider this has a better option than many blended whiskies out there. Don't get me wrong... this is an excellent scotch. If I didn't have to think about pricing, I would happily take this as a daily drinker dram, and it would join the ranks of Glengoyne 18 and Hibiki 17 in the group of extremely balanced, tasty and utterly inoffensive but more expensive whiskies that almost any palate would enjoy.
simply a superb dram
For the price you would be hard pushed to find anything of a similar age. It is very complex but in my view better without the addition of water and as Ralfy suggests benefits from leaving it in the glass for a minute for each year of maturation.
Due to the price, however, it's for Christmas eve only. Don't know about fruits, underlying flavors, etc, but I do know what I like. Been drinking malts for about 15 years and can usually find something good about most. Specs had it on sale a few weeks ago for $100. I've been through 3 bottles in 3 years. I have to hide them from my 3 sons - in - law.
Very smooth and great depth, for me. Lots of fruit, honey, confectionery and cream. Lucky enough to be local to Gibraltar and can get the Aberfeldy 21 for £60. Lucky me! I can't think of much better that I can get for much cheaper, particularly of this age. The Glengoyne 21, I'd suggest but that's a huge £15 more expensive, in Gib. You can hate me, if you like. We all made our choices.
