Add 50ml Aberfeldy 12 Year, 15ml Local Honey Syrup, 2 dashes Angostura Bitters, 2 dashes Orange Bitters to a Rocks Glass over ice. I kinda like Dewar’s, and I liked the idea of drinking a concentrated, undiluted-by-grain-whisky version of it. Aberfeldy 12 Year Old is a very popular single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Aberfeldy Distillery, which is situated in the heart of Scotland's Highland region.

Poppped into the distillery early on in December 2023 and had a wee nip at the bar before deciding I’d like to savour the experience. Any Scotch lover will appreciate its vanilla and fudge notes and the whisper of smoke on the finish. Mellowed for 12 years in handmade oak casks, this smooth, sweet dram offers rich rewards for those who like to dig deeper. Some of the tropical fruit notes arrive after the brief tongue burn, but they are substantially muted (watered-down).

This whisky also has approachable orange and honey flavours when young and over time subtle floral and spiced aromas can emerge. Fresh and fruity – freshly cut melon, green apple and pear – along with hot toast and honey with a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg. Let us know if we need instructions for where to find your house or want us to leave your wine in the shed! For larger groups we can still obtain a high level of detail when studied closely and can rely on how light reflects on the completed bottles.Overall: Ahh, yet another Highlander with a lovely floral aroma ruined by an overly-watered bottling strength and a significant lack of depth on the tongue. Aberfeldy's main claim to fame is as the heart of the excellent Dewar's blend but whiskies like this are putting it firmly in the spotlight. The demand for barley as a basic foodstuff during World War I led to the distillery being closed from 1917 to 1919. There’s nothing bad about Aberfeldy 12, but there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about it either, imho. It seems to me that bottlings of Highland whisky that are well presented are few and far between compared to other regions.
