On the nose, as befits the colour, sweet honey, with oranges (marmalade), almond paste, and some oak. You get a bit of the sherry cask in there. Fairly old-fashioned. Green apples. Quite fragrant and malty. A few drops of water bring a more honeyed sweetness to the nose. Aberfeldy is best known for its significant contributions to Dewar’s Scotch blends (Dewar’s being the distillery’s corporate owner), but it’s also the home to its own line of single malts, with bottlings reaching as old as 40 years of age. Situated uniquely between the Highlands and the Lowlands region of Scotland — technically either the Midlands or the Lower Highlands, depending on who you ask — Aberfeldy is known for producing mainstream, approachable whiskies with broad appeal. Finish: Short, somewhat nutty. The light caramel creeps up again, in microscopic proportions. A bit of spices and once again, THATS IT!!!

Enter Aberfeldy, which is essentially synonymous with Dewar’s Blended Scotch. The two are owned by the same company, and nearly all of Aberfeldy’s single malt production goes into making Dewar’s. I kinda like Dewar’s, and I liked the idea of drinking a concentrated, undiluted-by-grain-whisky version of it. It has a 12 year age statement, too, which is not a guarantee but a reassurance. Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819.

The palate is medium-bodied, creamy and just a bit spicy. There are more vanilla flavours, followed by honey and some grassy notes. Nose: Bright green apple, honeydew and sauvignon blanc grapes with the slightest ethanol burn peeking through. The nose is light and fruity to start with. After a while there are flavours of oranges and vanilla, followed by a touch of fudge. Quite grainy too. I love getting the opportunity to try a whisky from a distillery for the first time. The possibilities! The allure of a new experience; perhaps it will be a new gem, a new favorite! Honestly, it’s a large part of why I started writing this blog. I wanted to catalog those new experiences, share them, and give myself more chances to try new whisky. I can enjoy lemon citrus balanced with other flavours, as expressed here in the oxidised Aberfeldy 12. If lemon citrus is front and center without other strong balancing flavours, I find it just distracting and annoying. Oxidation allowed my bottle of Aberfeldy 12 to become sweeter, rounder, and richer.Finish: strong finish, with the peat and citrus becoming stronger still with time. Rich and resonant Over the years Aberfeldy hasn’t really pushed out its single malt despite being the only one of the “Last Great Malts” to actually have a regular OB. Though like many “lesser known” distilleries 3rd party bottlers (NDPs) have kept the name alive and known by bottling resting casks not marked for Dewar’s blending. Though now that Dewars is getting into the single malt game in a big way the Aberfeldy 12 will soon enjoy a wide distribution.

After more than 10 years of doing this, I’m starting to run out of new whiskies to try. New single malt distilleries, I mean… there’s an unending deluge of new expressions from existing distilleries. Aberfeldy 12 is tasty stuff. The deep fruity nose compliments the oak and fruit palate that continues nicely through the finish. I’m really enjoying sitting in my recliner with my dog on my legs, laptop on my lap and this in my mouth. Nose (undiluted): honey, malt, gentle oak, vanilla, a touch of dark fruits, a bit of orange zest, more complex than I would have expected.
