The only thing that surprised me about your review is that you never had this before after all these years of writing this blog. I kinda like Dewar’s, and I liked the idea of drinking a concentrated, undiluted-by-grain-whisky version of it. The Perthshire distillery of Aberfeldy produces elegant yet robust single malts which are real insider secret, as Aberfeldy is most famous for the best-selling Dewar's White Label blend. This is a whisky that is one step beyond the conventional, mainstream offerings and a more interesting choice than the classic malts commonly available.

It seems to me that bottlings of Highland whisky that are well presented are few and far between compared to other regions. The demand for barley as a basic foodstuff during World War I led to the distillery being closed from 1917 to 1919. One could arguably be best served by smelling a glass of Aberfeldy 12 for the duration of a sitting, and then leaving without tasting any.

A simple twist on the classic Old Fashioned, The Golden Dram adds local honey to accentuate the honeyed richness of Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Whisky. This indisputably needs a higher ABV – 46% at a minimum – and another 3 years or so in cask to develop a little depth and hopefully shed some of that bitterness. It’s a scotch that I often give to people that say they’ve never had scotch or want an easy bottle to start with.

Known for its smooth and approachable character, the Aberfeldy 12 Year Old is often praised for its balanced flavours and easy-drinking nature.The Second World War also caused barley supplies to be cut, and the distillery was again forced to shut down for some of this period.
