Aberfeldy 15 Year Old (1980’s Bottling)

Colour: gold.

Nose: soft, beautifully honeyed, cake-y, with touches of cured ham and humus. In the background, lovely bouillony notes, marrow, meat pies, stewed turnips, mashed peas… Indeed this is pretty ‘British cuisine’…

Mouth: extremely good, rich, always on a combination of dried and almost molassy dried fruits (figs) with meatier, savoury notes.

Finish: long, rather honeyed. Notes of very old Cognac. Comments: not that it’s a surprise, not at all, but I just love this complex, rich and meaty old Aberfeldy.

A very rare 1980s release of 15 year old Aberfeldy, bottled by the distillery.
