About this deal

Well we had success with the previous Christmas choice so had high hopes, however the Aberfeldy left us underwhelmed.

The best way i can describe it is "that drinking the Ab 21 is like driving a ferrari around the race track in eco drive", although the experience is pleasant you expect a hell of alot more for your money.Matured for a generous 21 years, this single malt boasts classic Highland character with layers of heather honey, nutty malt, and zesty fruit, joined by a rich depth of dried fruits and delicate smoke. It was a potential easy win for the bottle with eager, excited drinkers waiting to pour out the first drams but it was not to be. Palate: Silky vanilla and creamy oak lead to refined smoke, with notes of marzipan, candied orange, and floral fruit. I wouldn't rate this particular Scotch better than an off-the-shelf cheap Irish whiskey we keep for Irish coffees and tourists.

Bolstered by plenty of Aberfeldy's signature honeyed fruit character, this makes for a superbly laid-back sipper. The Aberfeldy distillery is nestled in the foothills of the central Highlands, and has been in operation since it was founded in 1898. But from the reaction I received, I can say with no uncertainty that the recipient was over the moon, really taken aback. I shared the financial burden with my Scottish pal as part of our annual Christmas pact to split the cost and explore a more expensive bottle that normally we could not justify on our own steam, a great partnership i can highly recommend.We have been privileged to have held her royal warrant throughout the entirety of her remarkable 70 year reign. The label comes with a rather handsome black and rose-gold colour palate to match the rich, malty, honeyed flavour profile. Finish: Ripe white peach, sultanas, and a good wave of honey, a smidge of wood smoke, backed up by caramelised almonds and a touch of toasted coconut. Nose: Runny honey, dried fruits, and biscuity malt enlivened by a fresh, zesty quality, and notes of waxed citrus.
