Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
In the glass, Aberfeldy 18 Year exhibits an enchanting amber hue with glints of golden sunshine. The viscosity displayed upon swirling suggests a whisky of medium body and refined texture.
Nose (Aroma):
A sniff reveals a rich tapestry of aromatic impressions, most notably vanilla, honey, and a bouquet of dried fruit—apricot and figs—wrapped in a delicate layer of oak and subtle smoke.
Palate (Taste):
Upon tasting, the palate is greeted with the unmistakable sweetness of malt, contrasted beautifully by the spiciness of black pepper and cinnamon. These are effortlessly layered upon a melange of fruity undertones, primarily composed of cooked apples and ripe peaches. As the whisky airs, a gentle trace of dark chocolate emerges, further complexifying the already intricate palate.
Finish:
The finish is refined and enduring, allowing flavors of toasted almonds and a dash of citrus to linger. As the finish unfolds, notes of oak and a wisp of smoke gently ebb away, leaving a warming, almost creamy, sensation.
Mouthfeel:
Silky smooth with just the right amount of weight, the whisky possesses a velvety mouthfeel, reinforcing its status as an exceptional dram for sipping and savoring.
