Product Information

We have been privileged to have held her royal warrant throughout the entirety of her remarkable 70 year reign. Nose: Runny honey, dried fruits, and biscuity malt enlivened by a fresh, zesty quality, and notes of waxed citrus. Palate: Silky vanilla and creamy oak lead to refined smoke, with notes of marzipan, candied orange, and floral fruit. It's not bad at all although a little unremarkable and if it was a third of the price it would be a decent buy. Wow, what a dram... A fine easy drinking dram. Nice and smooth with fruity notes and a honey like taste.

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Whisky | Master of Malt

Palate: Sweet, malty, with gentle peat and a mellow, silky texture. Vanilla fudge, peaches and cream, and subtle toasted oak follow. Well we had success with the previous Christmas choice so had high hopes, however the Aberfeldy left us underwhelmed. It was a potential easy win for the bottle with eager, excited drinkers waiting to pour out the first drams but it was not to be. Nose: Creamy. Some sherried fruit with a trailing hint of smoke. Honeyed prunes, custard, and espresso beans. I shared the financial burden with my Scottish pal as part of our annual Christmas pact to split the cost and explore a more expensive bottle that normally we could not justify on our own steam, a great partnership i can highly recommend.
