Tasting Notes

Nose: scented with spiced and honeyed plump fruits.

Palate and finish: syrupy, with lots of vanilla and fudge, and just a whisper of smoke on the finish.

It is a bottle our team likes to put in front of single malt newcomers who want honey and vanilla rather than heavy smoke.

How It Differs

The distillery calls Aberfeldy 16 Years [700ML] richer and more full-bodied, with extra maturation and Oloroso Sherry casks bringing the honeyed fruitiness to the foreground. The 12 is the youngest bottle in the distillery’s single malt range, which also lists the 16, 21 and 25 year olds.

How to Serve

The distillery says to drink it neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, and names the Aberfeldy Gold Fashioned and the Macleod Highball. Another Highland malt to compare is Singleton Glen Ord 12 Years [700ML].

Ideal for: a first Highland single malt, a relaxed evening pour and gifting.

Pairs with: to match the honey and spiced fruit we suggest Chinese-Malaysian char siu, Malay satay, and Indian-Malaysian mutton varuval.
