Aberfeldy 16 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aberfeldy 16-Year-Old was released in 2015 as part of The Last Great Malts series. Laid to rest for 16 years in handmade oak casks, this enriched offering is Matured in a combination of bourbon and first fill Oloroso sherry casks, to impart a subtle fruitful nature and a roundness to the whisky.

16-year-old single malt from the fantastic Aberfeldy distillery, unveiled in the latter half of 2015 as part of the Last Great Malts series. Aberfeldy whiskies are produced using a long fermentation, up to 70 hours, which gives them a rich, honeyed, and fruity flavor long established as the house style.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Raisins and cinnamon at first, before moving onto butterscotch, caramel and apple slice. A touch of floral malt, too. Soft notes of honey, freshened with citrus, which gives way to spiced pears, studded with cloves, and drizzled with caramel.

Palate: Well-rounded and mellow, but not lazy at all. More apple at first, soon joined by clementine segments and honey on toast. A spark of ginger. This well-balanced dram is at first sweet and rich like fruit cake but ends satisfyingly with a hint of dark chocolate. Longer fermentation for honeyed richness. 

Finish: Waxy peels and oak.
