Aberfeldy - 12 Yr Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is widely known as the Golden Dram. This title honors the distillery's water source, the Pitilie Burn, which is famous for its deposits of alluvial gold. This spirit offers a classic example of the Highland style, balancing rich sweetness with gentle spice. It is a craft-style whisky that rewards patience and tradition.

The production process relies on time-honored methods. The spirit is distilled in copper pot stills before entering a twelve-year rest. The distillery uses a specific combination of casks to achieve the final profile. This includes Sherry, Bourbon, re-fill, and re-charred oak barrels. During this long maturation, nearly a third of the liquid evaporates as the "Angel's Share." This natural concentration results in a whisky that is incredibly smooth and flavorful.

In the glass, the texture is syrupy and lush. The nose opens with scents of spiced fruit and heather honey. On the palate, you will find generous notes of creamy vanilla and rich fudge. The sweetness is substantial but never cloying. The finish offers a very faint whisper of smoke that adds just enough complexity to the fruit. With over 150 Gold Medals to its name, this bottle is a proven standard of quality. It shines when served neat, chilled, or as the base for an elevated Old Fashioned.
