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.
Tried this whiskey, and did not like it at all. It is has a very harsh finish. This is compared to a shelf full of various single malts. A mid-price blend like Famous Grouse is much nicer.
I reviewed this in 2013 on this site as a must have scotch at all times. This scotch completely changed when the label and tin changed. Different is not always bad. This is bad scotch now. I mourn the loss of one of my favorite scotches.RIP Aberfeldy 12
J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à déguster mon verre d'Aberfeldy. Agréablement surpris par son onctuosité. Un scotch que je vais offrir à mes invités sans gêne.
Äpple, kanel som toppas av sot. Udda men väldigt trevligt. Tråkigt med ekorren dock.
