Taster

Nose: Initially slightly savoury, full and spicy, sweet sherry, tangerines and soft oak.

Palate: Smooth, spicy and nutty, honey, malt, more sherry and \ncocoa powder.

Finish: Long, with slightly bitter oranges, liquorice sticks and dark chocolate.

Comment: Aberfeldy handles sherry and age well. A fine example, but a shame this is bottled at 40% ABV.

Score: 8.5

Taster

Nose: Light and wispy aromas of honey, ginger and limoncello liqueur.

Palate: Sweet honey predominates while in the background lurks plenty of citrus, Christmas-time clementines, along with a hint of warming cinnamon.

Finish: Sweet, medium length finish.

Comment: A proper crowd pleaser. What it lacks in complexity it makes up for it with its affability. Very easy to drink.

Score: 8.4
