First Impressions
Aberfeldy 21 — The Golden Dram matured for two decades in bourbon and sherry casks. Best Highland Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2014, Gold at IWSC 2013. The flagship expression of the distillery that provides the backbone for Dewar's blends.
Tasting
The nose is heather honey with dried fruit and beeswax. On the palate at 40%, coconut, vanilla, and stone fruit with waxy mouthfeel. The finish is long with honey and gentle oak.
The Verdict
Aberfeldy 21 earns an 8 — the Golden Dram at its most luxurious. World's Best Highland confirms the quality. At £161, Highland luxury that justifies the premium.
