A classic Highland dram, Aberfeldy 12 Year Old single malt whisky is a creamy, sweet and gently smoky example of what the region produces. Bolstered by plenty of Aberfeldy's signature honeyed fruit character, this makes for a superbly laid-back sipper. The label comes with a rather handsome black and rose-gold colour palate to match the rich, malty, honeyed flavour profile.
Aberfeldy Golden Hot Toddy recipe:
- 50ml of Aberfeldy 12 Year Old
- 1/2 shot of local honey
- 1/2 shot of lemon juice
Combine the above ingredients in a mug and top up with hot water. Garnish with lemon, a cinnamon stick, and some star anise to spread the cheer of this cosy classic.
Creamy. Some sherried fruit with a trailing hint of smoke. Honeyed prunes, custard, and espresso beans.
Sweet, malty, with gentle peat and a mellow, silky texture. Vanilla fudge, peaches and cream, and subtle toasted oak follow.
Ginger, malt, nutty nougat, and maybe a little grapefruit zest.
Such a refined quality tasting malt with good depth of bite, a sensational smell that lingers as you taste, it such a pity the bottles are small.
This is a good example of a highland whisky but it's definitely not my favorite. I get some honey and heather with some citrus and barrel char. I wish this was stronger it would have more flavor but it's pretty good. Worth trying indeed.The Sugarbear
This whisky offers an excellent, rich taste and is a good value as well. Fairly smooth and not smoky. A good regular drink. I definitely recommend.
Just got a bottle of this dram. I'm sipping it as I am writing this post. Nose is very sweet. I really can't smell the smoke. Palate is real smooth. Makes me think of Speyburn 10. Finish is medium and sweet. For the price (50 CAD), you cannot get any better.
Just started enjoying Scotch . Tried Johnnie Black just after Aberfeldy. Not hard to make a comparison . Aberfeldy is first rate. Easy to drink. And much more enjoyable. Looking forward to tying many more brands.
