Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a Highland single malt that balances honeyed sweetness and citrus against sherried warmth: sixteen years old, finished in oloroso sherry casks, and bottled at 40% ABV. The nose brings honey, zesty orange and ginger. The palate is smooth and rounded, moving through vibrant orange and marzipan into milk chocolate and gentle spice, before a mouth-coating finish of nutty spice, bitter orange and dark chocolate. It sits in Aberfeldy's core range between the 12 and 21 Year Old, which makes it a natural step up for someone who has enjoyed a younger Highland malt and wants more depth. It rewards neat sipping in a Glencairn, yet its citrus and spice also shine in a Whisky Sour. We carry it because it delivers layered, sherry-finished character from a distillery that has worked on the southern bank of the Tay since 1898, and because it is easy to recommend to newcomers and seasoned malt drinkers alike.

Pairs well with

Dark chocolate dessert — The whisky's milk and dark chocolate notes echo the dessert while its bitter orange finish cuts through the richness.
Holiday fruitcake — Dried fruit and spice in the cake complement the oloroso sherry finish and the whisky's marzipan and baking spice notes.
Slow after-dinner conversation — The long, mouth-coating finish of nutty spice and dark chocolate makes it a whisky to sip slowly and talk over.
