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.
excellent flavor and nose. Highland for sure. 80 proof allows for sipping a bit more than the 86 proofs!!

Fruity nose, rather boring palate but an interesting finish. Good alternative for more flavoursome 12yo like The Glenlivet.
I agree with the recent reviews claiming this whisky is now harsh. Having visited the distillery, sampled and purchased bottles on two occasions I must say that the Aberfeldy whisky now being sold in supermarkets for the first time bears no comparison. I am thinking of contacting Dewars for an explanation.
Found this wonderful treasure at a Quebec SAQ in Lachute. Decided to give it a try, and so very glad I did. I'm a MacAllens fan, this compares very well and is almost half the price. Shhh it's our little secret.
