Aberfeldy 25 year old 125th Anniversary Special Edition, 46%

Price: 550 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Black treacle, walnut, prune, malt loaf, and a touch of gingerbread on the nose, topped with cinnamon, dark chocolate, clove, peppercorn, jellied blackberry, and honey. The palate revels in blueberry, black cherry, red apple, currants, sultana, baked orange, vanilla essence, red chile, pecan pie, and molasses, with a few coffee notes. This gives 100%, and benefits from a long mouth-coating finish of chocolate and soft spices.
