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.
It is not very spicy nor strong taste coming out from your nose, the first impression would be clear and clean, very fresh and sweet. Would be my firdt pick for those who just start to try whisky
One of my "go to" bottle. Never regretted the many bottles I had right from the old bottling with a nice squirrel label. Fruitty with hint of lemon and mandarin and sweet thereafter that is clean
Here in America the pursuit of great single malts has come down to a dollars race up past the $100 demarcation line. Aberfeldy is a delightful dram in the opposite direction. Almost chewy, it tastes like a great highland single malt should taste.There is smoke, but it is complex with some fruitiness, and a honeyed nutty aftertaste. Delightful and a staple in my bar from here on.
Fruity and sweet with a very thin line of smoke. A really good whisky. Finish is spicy but dry and I like it. Good price too.
Had this in the morning waiting for the flight and it ended up being a great match.
