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.

You know, in terms of actual value for money, this is a good buy. Uncomplicated yes, but a tasty and balanced dream for sure. Coffee beans, fruits, cream and sweet barley sing a lovely song together.
Some one left a bottle at my house...I have had a couple of nips out of it...very nice... I'll have to tell them it evaporated..shhhh
My friend turned me on to Aberfeldy 12, and I'm glad he did. It's the least expensive single malt I've tried and it did not disappoint. It may me too simple a whisky for some people, but I like easy drinking whisky, and this stuff is smooth.
Very smooth, and decent, beginners will certainly like it. But it is not in international rankings. Price on online marketing is very cheap, than buying in duty free shipping.
Now when reviewing a dram one has to take a few things into consideration. Firstly what category of whisky does it fall into. Secondly its quality in relation to its price. And lastly does it deliver what it claims. Obviously it all boils down to individual preference but I feel all to often a review is unfair due to these points being overlooked. For a 12 year old highland at around £30 this is a very nice whisky indeed. A descent level of complexity, clean well aged with a medium length finish invoking honied heather and citrus.
