ABERFELDY 18 Year Old was initially propelled for the Travel Retail Market. STATUS : END OF PRODUCTION BOTTLE
Founded in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons, nearby the town of the same name in the Eastern Highlands; Aberfeldy sits on the south bank of the river Tay and the distillery takes its water from the Pitilie Burn. Often overlooked, Aberfeldy sells a mere 6,000 cases a year, even since being bought up by Bacardi in 1998, a century after production first began at the distillery.
TASTING NOTES:
- Colour: Light Coco.
- Aroma: Vanilla, Sweet and Honey.
- Palate: the oak takes the pole position, but it develops nicely with vanilla , some honeyed fruitiness (orange zest and citrus) and chocolate.
- Finish: not very long, just the sweeter notes that linger on. A bit thin and watery.
