"Matured for 16 years in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, the finish is equal parts spicy and smooth, offering rich notes of honey, fruitcake, and dark chocolate. Since this whisky has extra time maturing in the Oloroso sherry casks, some of the honeyed, fruity notes step to the foreground. The nose delivers caramel and brown sugar plus subtle whiffs of green apple and dried fruits."
"At 40% ABV, the Aberfeldy 16 is ideal for beginners. Instead of being a strong peated Scotch that can be a hit or miss for palates, this dram is smooth and easy to sip neat or with a few drops of water. The balanced sweetness and lack of peat make this a crowd-pleaser and an ideal gift for those building up their own Scotch collections."
"Released in 2015 as part of The Last Great Malts series, this Highland whisky has earned an impressive list of accolades, including bagging several consecutive gold medals at the Scotch Whisky Masters and claiming crowns at the International Wine & Spirit Competition."
