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.
Worth trying if you can find a bottle. Not one of my top favourites bit should be experienced. Lovely sweet floral nose. Body is sweet with a touch of dryness, but a little too much of a spirit flavour to make this a classic for me. Unusual peppery finish. Goes really well with dark chocolate or with beer.
Don't really get it - people trash the fiddich 12yo, the cardhu 12yo, and even the morangie at times as being bland and uninteresting. And this one gets pretty much all positive reviews. I had it only once, and it's the least interesting malt I've had. Woody, no real fruits, maybe just a hint of peat 'n smoke. Not much body, texture is watery, no real oil or punch. Very easy to drink, but at that rate I'd go for a blend. Don't understand the fuss about this one - and I'm not a big Islay kind of guy.
This is an excellent whisky. Smells of spice and pear, tastes like leather(and other things) with a hint of smoke and shiitake mushrooms(surprisingly good). It's somehow very long in the mouth. Would absolutely recommend. Very good value for the price.
I have over 20 scotchs in my collection and it all started with this Scotch. This is probably the smoothest scotch I have and also the least expensive. I put this in a taste test for several of my friends (the other scotchs ranged from $50-90) against 8 other scotchs. Aberfeldy was in the top 3 in all of their rankings. I think everyone who wants to try scotch should definitely pick up this bottle. Then when you get your big boy pants on, then move to Laphroig and Ardbeg.
Bättre än Lord Kulvert. Mycket bättre - faktiskt en favorit.
