Provenance Aberfeldy 8 Year Old 2012

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 46%

An eight year old single malt Scotch whisky from the awesome Aberfeldy Distillery, independently bottled up by Douglas Laing as part of their Provenance series of more affordable malts. It was filled into a single refill barrel back in September 2012 and left to rest until August 2021, when it was bottled up at 46% ABV. Just 320 bottles of this one.

Tasting Note

Nose

Creamy and floral on the nose, with honey and a touch of orange flower water.

Palate

Sweet - so very sweet - clearly a very good cask. Gentle vanilla gives way to malty grist, and a touch of bitterness.

Finish

Long and surprisingly rich for its age. Good spirit will out.
