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.
Of the whiskies I have tasted this is my favourite! Mostly because it is good in all settings, room temperature at night or with a cup of coffee, on a hot summers day with a cube of ice, or after a good meal. The other whiskies I have on my top five can on some occasions be better, but none has been so all round as this! That's why this must always be in my house! Just want to say thanks to my Scottish friend that introduced it to me!
Bought this after reading some reviews here and I've got to agree. As an entry level whisky drinker this offers a lot of flavor and goes down easy. I can definitely taste some sweet fruit reminding of peaches and it gets better the more you sip it. I don't really experience the whiskey as peaty on the finish as some others which I would appreciate, but the taste overall is excellent. Some honey and vanilla and very smooth.
A peaty beautifully blended malt which isn't too strong on the taste buds. Smoothest whisky I've had and now my favourite tipple. Highly recommend!
a little bit to blended taste for a malt in my opinion. to much spirit/alcohol taste/burning and not enough whisky or malt taste. A budget malt whisky.
