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. 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. Charming nose that envelops you with warmth, spices, splendid medicinal notes, candied oranges, orange marmalade and then this fruit dripping with honey and butter. Caramel and toffee to no end, licorice, vanilla and spicy kit to finish.

Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise.It’s not that he’s evil, but while the 16-year-old Aberfeldy whiskey is already very velvety, soft and spicy, these 12 months of snoozing in Madeira Malmsey and Bual wine barrels weigh it down, making it lose some momentum. and aromatic cleansing. Of course, it is a conscious stylistic choice, the final passage in Sherry, Porto, Madeira or Marsala barrels helps to broaden the spectrum and volume of the whiskey’s aroma, enriches it. It adds wonderful nutty notes of dried fruit, but at the same time makes the fruit of this mellifluous and down very overripe distillate even more syrupy and spicy. And sincerely, proposing such an opulent and sumptuous apparatus and structure with only 40 degrees is a bit counterproductive. The problem with this whiskey is that it cannot be very dynamic, it relaxes and is slow in development. A higher gradation would have added the ideal fire to set off the spark.
