Aberfeldy 14 Year Old 1994 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old

Aberfeldy is the largest malt whisky component of Dewar's Blended Whisky. This expression is the entry level in the range and is bottled at 40% Bright gold in the glass with a nose that is creamy, cereal notes, sherried fruits, whiff of smoke. The palate is a bit thin but smooth, light smoke, barley and sweet honey. The finish is medium and sweet....

Aberfeldy 15 Year Old 1994 A.D. Rattray

A.D. Rattray (formerly Dewar Rattray, which in the case of Aberfeldy, could become quite confusing) bottled this Aberfeldy from 1994 at cask strength. The nose is very fruity on coconut, pineapple and oranges. Touch of leather as well. But most of all: nuts. Hints of marzipan. And something dusty, as if I am sitting in the attic. Toasted oak....

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old

Aberfeldy was founded by John Dewar, the man behind the blend of the same name. So it is not surprising that this is a finger print malt in that very accessible blend.

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old

Had quite a few drams of it at the distillery, finishing the drinks of my companions who weren't really into whisky. Not to insult this malt, but I actually prefer the Dewar blends. Nose: what can I say, light, faint smell of flowers Taste: Smooth and light, not much to tell about this one actually, a bit oily but lack of character
