Aberfeldy's 21 year old was re-launched with a new design in 2015 and lies within theircore range of bottlings (12, 16, 18, 21 & 28 year olds). It's a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks and has won several gold medals and 'best in show' awards. It's a whisky that has always held a soft spot in my heart, and one to this day which I still use as a 'learning tool' for introducingnewbies to the more woody flavours which can be associated with longer periods of cask maturation.

Awards for Aberfeldy 21 Year Old

This 21 year old from the Highland region has been finished off in sherry casks having spent a large part of it's life in both first and second-fill bourbon barrels. Aberfeldy’s bottle is described by Royal Mile Whiskies as ‘an old smoothie for after-dinner sipping’. There’s no denying that the 21 year old is smooth, mellow and sweet. It has a light flowery nose with a flavour that is delicately oaky with a hint of spice. While the flavour is very pleasant (making it, what one of the assembled company described as a good session malt) it was undistinguished. The Gordon and MacPhail bottle, on the other hand, was full of flavour. Nothing restrained and elegant about this guy – it’s more oily in the glass and has a less subtle nose, the oak more prominent. Undiluted it is harsh but with warm it becomes lighter, fruitier and more complex. While the 21 year slips down the throat like a soothing medicine, the single cask dances in the mouth.

individual waves out to sea or at the beach can be higher than this number. If you are close to the Taste: Solid arrival but a touch underpowered when compared to the magnificent nose. Wood notes are amped up further here with the polish and shavings increasing their presence. Our bees have been stove cooking as their garden honey has caramelised and added sweetness. There’s some real astringency from the oak, but the sweeter notes balance this out excellently. Deeper flavours of chocolate, oranges and nectarines add further depth alongside still subtle spice notes of cinnamon again, but now with a touch of nutmeg. the beach. If the arrow is parallel to or pointing away from land, the wave height is likely to be lower 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. Well we had success with the previous Christmas choice so had high hopes, however the Aberfeldy left us underwhelmed. It was a potential easy win for the bottle with eager, excited drinkers waiting to pour out the first drams but it was not to be.Beware of offshore winds if you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks. These winds can blow you While its “ Exceptional Cask” releases are bottled at cask strength, the three whiskies we look at today — representing the core of Aberfeldy’s single malt lineup, all formally relaunched a few years ago — are all bottled at 80 proof. All three are aged in a combination of ex-bourbon casks, first fill oloroso sherry casks, and refill casks which are then married together before bottling — though note the additional aging on the 16 year old below. I have to understand that not everyone is looking for fireworks when it comes to their whiskies. Some just like to keep things simple. 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. 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.
