The distillery itself puts out three single malts as part of it's original bottles: the 12, 18 and the 21 with the rest going into blends or snapped up by independents. It has been a long ol' while since That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottled their first batch of Aberfeldy single malt - but that all changes with the launch of their second batch of Aberfeldy!

OK, that much for nostalgia. Now, the review itself (jotted down in situ with a pen on a coaster, Nov. 2018 -for those who like details): color is amber, no oily streaks.

Stuff like Compass Box Asyla or Great King Street Artist's Blend? Feels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This gives you a better the beach.

What I say: Given my love of this dram, it's a tough one to review fairly, but let's take off my rose-tinted glasses and try to be at least somewhat analytical about things.
