Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Whisky, hailing from the renowned Aberfeldy Distillery, is aptly named after its “Golden Dram.” This moniker pays homage to the gold deposits found on the very land where the distillery stands. The expression undergoes a meticulous maturation process, spanning at least 12 years within handcrafted oak casks. This transformative journey results in a rich, sweet dram, infused with captivating scents of spices and honeyed plump fruits. The palate is further enriched by a syrupy texture, complemented by prominent notes of vanilla and fudge. A subtle hint of smoke lingers on the finish, adding depth and complexity to the overall experience.
Available in a 700ml bottle, this exquisite whisky boasts an impressive alcohol by volume of 40%.
