Mellowed for 12 Years in handmade oak casks, this smooth, sweet dram offers rich rewards for those who like to dig deeper. This is a whisky that is one step beyond the conventional, mainstream offerings and a more interesting choice than the classic malts commonly available.
Nose - Creamy, Some sherried fruit with a trailing hint of smoke
Palate - Sweet, malty, with gentle peat and a mellow, silky texture. Vanilla fudge, peaches and cream, and subtle toasted oak follow.
Finish - Ginger, malt, nutty nougat, and maybe a little grapefruit zest.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Aberfeldy Distillery is nestled within a lush valley in the foothills of the Central Highlands of Scotland, within the quaint village of Aberfeldy, Perthshire. A land steeped in folklore and fables. Founded by the two Dewar’s brothers: Tommy and John Alexander, the distillery rose up in 1898 and was designed by the famous architect, Charles Doig. Our whisky is ready for you to enjoy when Stephanie McLeod, our Malt Master, deems it perfect.
Have you ever read the back of the honey you picked up from your local supermarket? It might not be as natural as you think as mass produced products can often involve compromise. But just like whisky, the source of honey matters! It has provenance, terroir, it can change from hive to hive, and so it can be an exciting ingredient to experiment with, especially alongside whisky.
50 ml Aberfeldy 12 year old
15 ml local honey syrup
20 ml lemon juice
Spice mix - cinnamon, cloves, vanilla & nutmeg
Create your spice mix, add the Aberfeldy 12 year old and all the ingredients into a heatproof glass. Then top with hot water and stir. Remove the cloves, and garnish with lemon and a cinnamon stick
