Современный, тяжело выдержанный в хересе Aberfeldy: сладкий, с сухофруктами, кофе и дубом. Опытные ценят гармонию и насыщенность, но частая претензия — доминирование хересной бочки поверх лёгкого дистиллята и завышенная цена.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают жжёная карамель, сухофрукты (изюм, финики, апельсин), мёд и старый херес, с пряными нотами корицы, гвоздики и намёком на кофе и молочный шоколад; часть авторов улавливает тёмные, почти перезрелые ягоды и лёгкую кислинку с оттенком серы. Вкус плотный, очень сладкий и пряный, с изюмом в тёмном шоколаде, кофе, жареными орехами, дубом и обжигающей крепостью 53%, слегка терпкий; послевкусие средней длины, суше и мягче вкуса, с дубом, шоколадом, корицей и солодовой сладостью на выходе. Хвалят округлость, насыщенность, сложность и хорошо встроенный спирт, а также способность раскрываться с каплей воды.
Основное расхождение проходит по линии оценки хересной отделки: опытные ревьюеры в целом ставят высоко (85–89) и отмечают гармоничность, но самые критичные из них называют напиток тяжёлой хересной бомбой современного стиля, где мощная бочка перекрывает свойства лёгкого дистиллята, а неполное созревание оставляет ощущение нехватки глубины; звучат и претензии к завышенной цене. У остальных разброс шире — от восторженных 90–92 за полноту и сложность до резких 77–84, где виски называют несбалансированным хересным монстром без тела, с плохо интегрированным спиртом и ставкой на тёмный цвет. Согласие есть в описании профиля (сладкий, хересный, пряный, с сухофруктами и дубом), расхождение — в том, достоинство это или маскировка неглубокого дистиллята.

now when the red ones kick in in this hot bottle, ratings get back to normal. Can't wait for my sample ;) EDIT: now tasted it, second time vs. the Secret Speyside 2002 from MBI (cask 900145) and it my impression has been confirmed. Overfinished, just a sherry cask explosion without a body. Quite flat, the alcohol is not integrated very well. Must have been a C-cask which was in great need of improvement. Sorry, more a fail of a finish
wonderful malt. Very full and complex. a nice sherry profile.

Whisky that has been refined in a sherry barrel for almost two years.
For me it is a very sweet, sugary, and concentrated whisky.

| Нос | 86 | Musty smell of rotting grapes and plums. These are warm and dark berries, long forgotten in a vase on a sultry summer day. |
| Вкус | 86 | Dusty sweet taste, cloying, spoiled, rotten. |
| Финиш | 85 | Sugary, sweet, with a taste of spoiled plums. |

Good whisky, but a bit disappointing as just a heavy barrel driven sherry bomb of more modern design. Which leaves room for noticeable age, but completely ignores the properties of the distillate.

Had a sample. Good modern sherry cask dram. Noticeable finish and no full maturation shows itself in the lack of depth of the otherwise strong sherry flavor. For what it's worth they did not drain the spirit in wet PX imho, the whisky is still a unity. Helplessly overpriced for what it is though. Even nowadays maybe 120 EUR would be a fair price (not that I'd buy one, but seeing the Aberfeldy in context of what is out there for what price now).

Everything you can go wrong with a fairly light body whisky like Aberfeldy and an all-consuming sherry cask. This whisky is for people who are tempted by color. Be prepared to be disappointed if you expect more from that deep black color.

| Нос | 88 | Aroma: + H2O: spicy, a little sweet, fruity, sherry, spices, a little orange. A little later and fleetingly sour-fruity, red fruits, idea of sulfur? Far away also baking spices. Without adding water: lots of spices, wood notes, fruity-spicy, alcohol tickles the nose, dried fruits, orange, also here a little bit acidic and fruity. 87-88 |
| Вкус | 89 | Taste: + H2O: warm, spicy, sweet-tart-sweet, now also dried fruits, spices, wood / oak, barrel, a touch of tart, the idea of chocolate and coffee, a little nutty. Takes a little time and gains in taste with a few drops of water. Enjoyed without adding water and in small sips: more concentrated and spicy, pleasant and relatively soft, spicy-fruity-sweet, dried fruits, spices / baking spices, raisins in dark chocolate, coffee, trace of roasted nuts. A little hand warmth is good for him. With slightly larger sips, you can expect a start, the 53% ensure a somewhat fiery experience. The delicate tart notes cannot be denied, but from my point of view they do not disturb. 88-89 |
| Финиш | 88 | Touch dry and delicately tart with oak / chocolate, spices. At the end, it finishes off slightly malty and sweet. 87-88 |
Aberfeldy 2002 - 2021, 18 years, Exceptional Cask Series, 53.3% alc. Original bottling. Expansion: Bourbon cask, post-maturation in sherry cask no. 3064 Nose: fair. Cotton candy, caramel, roasted almonds and dates. A nice fruity sweetness in the first impression, behind which different spices collect. A mild mixture of cinnamon and cloves, I can also find thin coffee and milk chocolate. The fruit flavors return, this time in the form of dried orange wedges and apricot jam. Palate: Very sweet attack, full-bodied and fruity. A composition of raisins, dates and mushy grapes, a slight acidity carries the intense aromas. It gets pretty stormy for a moment, the aromas have to be rearranged. The roasted almonds and coffee return, accompanied by cinnamon, tobacco and pepper, also candied ginger with a slight spiciness and lots of oak. Finish: Medium length, much more subtle than on the palate, the focus is again on the sweetness and the oak wood retreats a bit. The fruit aromas are accompanied by lots of cinnamon. Conclusion: This single cask bottling is a strong thing, not easy, not particularly harmonious and quite overloaded on the palate. In other words: Pretty cool. 87/100 points (2022) www.notesofmalt.com

Sherry monster totally unbalanced, it's a shame.

| Нос | 92 | Fine sweetness, dried fruits, spices, orange and old sherry, |
| Вкус | 93 | Sweet, spicy sherry, fine dark chocolate, oak on tap, raisins, dried fruits. The alcohol is very well integrated - I don't need any water. |
| Финиш | 92 | Medium-long, tart and fruity, dark chocolate, malt and oak. Overall comfortable and relatively soft. |
Super tasty sherry grenade without missing notes, at the same time tasty and yet complex, nice round oak notes. It could also have been fully ripened. Unfortunately too expensive.
