About Aberfeldy Distillery From Their Website
Aberfeldy Distillery is nestled within a lush valley in the foothills of the Central Highlands of Scotland. Known as the ‘Golden Dram’, the distillery’s water source is the famous Pitilie Burn, renowned locally for its water quality and famed for its deposits of alluvial gold. Time-honoured techniques, such as longer fermentation, conjure rare honeyed notes – key to the signature sweetness of Aberfeldy’s malts.

Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: Honey, brown sugar, fresh malt, Golden Grahams cereal, chai tea latte, waxy fruits, sliced strawberries, grapefruit peel, chocolate fudge, and... a touch of pine smoke?
Palate: Soft, warming smoke again. Lemon meringue in a graham cracker pie crust, honey roasted almonds, a mojito-like mix of citrus and mint, and a dash of chai and cream once more.
Finish: Chocolate chips and a touch of oak, plus soothing on the throat like you just popped a Lemon and Honey Lozenge.
Comment: I do get the slightest smoke in this bottling and it makes it all very intriguing. The Aberfeldy 12 Year is a solid single malt for the price - but I do wish it was bottled at higher than 40%.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: creamy, floral and toasty, lots of vanilla, white sugars and lots of nuts: walnuts and pecans; white cupcakes with cream cheese icing.
Palate: more cream cheese icing, lots of wood, more cracked nuts, creamed honey and vanilla extract; some melons, dried appricots and loads of malt (a touch vegetal).
Finish: light with medium length, floral, toasty and malty with light fuits.
Comment: fresh, light, clean and toasty!
