The signature Aberfeldy honeyed character shines through immediately, accompanied by heather florals, ripe orchard fruits, and gentle vanilla. Subtle notes of orange zest and sweet malt create an inviting, delicate aromatic profile.
Smooth and creamy with prominent honey sweetness balanced by malty cereal notes and poached pears. Vanilla custard, white flowers, and a touch of citrus add brightness to the medium-bodied, silky mouthfeel.
Medium length with lingering honey sweetness, soft oak, and a gentle warming spice that gradually subsides.
