Mellowed for 12 years in handmade oak casks, this smooth, sweet dram offers rich rewards for those who like to dig deeper.
Over the 21 Years that this Aberfeldy single malt has been lying in cask, it has grown ever more mellow, rich, fruity and honeyed. This has not gone unnoticed by the Angels, who have by now helped themselves to about half of what was originally in each cask.
What The WSD thinks: Cottage garden spring flowers becoming more intense all the time. Tropical fruit essence on the palate with lashes of grapefruit, mango and banana.
