Aberfeldy 16 Year

Great scotch for the price. Fairly smooth. Sherry notes, but not overpowering. Medium smokiness. All the notes come together nicely. Could drink this regularly.

Strong scent compared to dalwhinnie, rich smell

Honey nose, light body on glass, melon

노징에서는 몰티함이 가장 강하게 남고 프루티한 힌트들이 보인다. 첫 터치가 굉장히 쫀쫀한 느낌이 있는데, 입에서 굴리면 층이 생긴다. 프루티함으로 시작해서 보리와 바닐라 꿀의 단 맛으로 간다. 진저리한 스파이시함으로 가는 중간에 어린 나무와 스파이스들이 강하게 치고 간다. 12에서 느껴진 생강 뉘앙스는 절제되어서 혀 뒤쪽에서만 남고 그렇게 쓰지 않은 다크 초콜릿 뉘앙스와 함께 적당한 길이로 이어진다.

Having tried and been a fan of 12 year Aberfeldy for some time as one of the best bargain single malts on the market, I got a gift pack for a friend for Christmas of 12, 16 and 21. We only recently got into the 16 year and its just fine. Tastes are subjective but I thought this was a little too fruit heavy for my taste. Credit where its due, it is smooth through and through and goes down with no burn. Toward the end of the taste do I detect some dark chocolate sweetness? It's almost chalky. No.. for me, I would save the green and get 12 year or go a little fancier with the 21. But really this whole lineup tastes much pricier than the price point suggests and are actually readily available anywhere. A plus in these crazy times.
