Aberfeldy 16 Year Old Details

The distillery itself puts out three single malts as part of it's original bottles: the 12, 18 and the 21 with the rest going into blends or snapped up by independents. While its “ Exceptional Cask” releases are bottled at cask strength, the three whiskies we look at today — representing the core of Aberfeldy’s single malt lineup, all formally relaunched a few years ago — are all bottled at 80 proof. All three are aged in a combination of ex-bourbon casks, first fill oloroso sherry casks, and refill casks which are then married together before bottling — though note the additional aging on the 16 year old below.

Taste: Solid arrival but a touch underpowered when compared to the magnificent nose. Wood notes are amped up further here with the polish and shavings increasing their presence. Our bees have been stove cooking as their garden honey has caramelised and added sweetness. There’s some real astringency from the oak, but the sweeter notes balance this out excellently. Deeper flavours of chocolate, oranges and nectarines add further depth alongside still subtle spice notes of cinnamon again, but now with a touch of nutmeg. Aberfeldy's 21 year old was re-launched with a new design in 2015 and lies within theircore range of bottlings (12, 16, 18, 21 & 28 year olds). It's a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks and has won several gold medals and 'best in show' awards. It's a whisky that has always held a soft spot in my heart, and one to this day which I still use as a 'learning tool' for introducingnewbies to the more woody flavours which can be associated with longer periods of cask maturation. Finish: Medium length (though straight out of the bottle can seem arguably short). Fruity finish, emphasising honeyed and chocolate covered orange segments.No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

On the nose the primary note is heather honey (definitely part of their house style, which I learned during the Masterclass); also cinnamon, mango, orange peel, light caramel, strawberries and really firm oak. Rather biscuity. Maltier with water. It's a rich, luscious nose, quite decadent.
