Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky hails from the Highland region of Scotland, specifically from the Aberfeldy Distillery, established in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons. This expression itself was introduced more recently, in 1999. The brand is renowned for its "Golden Dram," a nickname reflecting not only the whisky's hue but also the distillery's water source, the Pitilie Burn, which is known for containing alluvial gold deposits. Aberfeldy is also noted for its longer fermentation times, contributing to a characteristic honeyed sweetness and smooth, approachable profile, making it a significant component of Dewar's blended Scotch whiskies.

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old brings a honeyed sweetness with notes of fruit and spice to your home bar. This single malt shines in stirred cocktails that allow its smooth, approachable character to come through, think a classic Rob Roy or a nuanced Old Fashioned. It’s a versatile and welcoming addition to your collection of craft spirits.

Expect scents of honeyed fruits, perhaps some pineapple and toasted cereal, leading to a smooth, sweet palate with vanilla fudge, peaches, and a whisper of smoke. The finish is often described as having ginger, malt, and a hint of citrus zest.
