Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl - RV Drinks

The flagship single malt from this Highland distillery, now owned by Bacardi via John Dewar & Sons, serves as the core malt behind many of the celebrated Dewar's blends, aged twelve years in ex-bourbon barrels to develop its signature honeyed character. Dried apricot and red apple open the nose alongside leather, oak and gently charred raw sugar with a nutty quality, developing into a buttery palate laced with apple, dried fruit and citrus balanced by baking spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, closing smooth with the honeyed, easy-drinking character that's made this a genuine Highland sipper favourite.
