Aberfeldy is the heart of the popular Dewar blends but is not widely available as a single malt. It does appear that the distillery is on the verge of changing that with a new marketing push. I was very impressed with the 12 year old, and found it more enjoyable than the 21 year old. It has a heavy citrus nose, a light body and a very satisfying medium finish. At a price point of around $35, this one is a bargain that should do very well. It opened up nicely with just a touch of water.

Nose: Lemon grass with an under current of lemon oil, a touch of honey, pineapple, young but in a good way

Body: Light and a little oily

Finish: Sweet malty character that’s medium length and very satisfying

A flavorful and easy drinking winner and one you should add to the collection.

Cheers,
Glen
