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.
£6.98 - £73.50
Nice and smooth flavour and taste lovely malt recommend
Pure coincidence I was recommended this in a bar on a cruise. I can't go back to any of the others. This is my favourite!
From a decent blend like Monkey Shoulder to a single malt like Glen Moray is a leap, and onwards to Aberfeldy is another such leap, not only in price but also in flavour. I am bombarded with apple, melon, honey, vanilla and liquorice, this last note perhaps accounting for the bitterness that others have mentioned. Glen Moray is still my weekday tipple but Aberfeldy is definitely something for the weekend.
For a non peated highland, and 12 yr old, this is a solid dram if you like velvety honey, light stewed fruit, with a touch of vanilla, cream soda, spice and butterscotch. Not too sweet, but decent after dinner dram or late at night when you don't want a peated punch from Islay. Not too complex, good for beginners, would make an interesting flight with Glenlivet 12 and Aberlour 12, for a highlands vs. speyside showdown.
I found the 12 year old a beautiful whisky. I preferred this to the 16 year old. I would place it in a similar vein to a Double Wood.
