Aberfeldy 21 Year Old

Notes: Honey and heather are immediately apparent in the nose, joined by hints of orange, vanilla and a bit of charred oak in the middle tastes. There is a notion of a good liqueur in the fullness of this single malt, which has a long, spicy finish.

Official Tasting notes
Colour
Deep gold with amber highlights.

Nose
Richly textured, honeyed nose with sweet creamy intensity. Dried fruits, floral heather notes and hints of toasted coconut. Wood exerts its influence but doesn’t overwhelm.
With water, more fresh fruits are released along with vanilla and cream.

Palate
Both sweet and full with lashings of Scottish honey and an abundance of orange peel, immediately relaxing with notes of cream, vanilla and oak.
With water, spicy, woody notes appear, while the orange develops into marmalade and lingers pleasantly.

Body
Full bodied.

Finish
Long, spicy with a decidedly dry finish.
