Absolutely loved this scotch. I've traditionally liked the more peaty brands, but the sweetness of this brand was so organic and true that it made me an instant fan. It currently sits at the top of my favorites list.
Extremely underrated, this scotch is absolutely amazing. Always have it in the cabinet. Beautiful honey note, creamy buttery sensation. Spice and dark chocolate...leaves you wanting more. Of course Horst has it spot on, he is a pro.
Had the 21 year and absolutely loved it. Picked up the 12 year on a whim today and, while it's nowhere near the quality of the 21 (seriously, get it), it's EXCELLENT as a daily driver. Good thing too, because this can be an expensive hobby! Really like it!
@@Marco_Onyxheart Look them up, I have found the 12 year many times in foreign airports in duty free, come to Aberfledy and try the 16 year and the 21 year. They are a massive hit with whiskey lovers.
You should check out his older reviews. He was much more contemplative and pensive in those... he'd whisper sometimes. It was really great to see the passion he put into his reviews. It's less apparent now, he just talks his way through. I guess it's just different. But I miss his old style. That's what got me into whisky in the first place!
Nice review, Horst, and agreed, this distillery's visitor center & tours are great, I've been there last year & was enchanted...plus they have several "bottle your own" casks & fancy whisky souvenirs. The "blending Museum" called Dewar's Whisky World is very interesting too...
I’m drinking it right now, beginner scotch lover here.. I don’t taste any notes xd only that I like it. I have only had a chivas regal, a glen livet and a glen fiddich before this. I can taste the difference between those but don’t ask me to name what the difference is haha
No, when we talk about our impressions and tastes of whisky, it just means that we are reminded of these aromas, not that they are necessarily used in the production process. At least this is the case with whisky, but if we smell coriander in gin, for example, it is quite possible that actual coriander was used in its production.
$40 in my state, would pay up to $150 for this I mean WOW. In my opinion one of the greatest scotch’s out there. I feel like nobody knows about it, and hey that’s fine-- more for me 😏
The only scotch I love above Aberfeldy 12 as a day to day drinking scotch is the Glenlivet 12. Aberfeldy absolutely hit this expression out of the park! I love Aberfeldy!
i just bought a bottle of the golden dram version that is 80 proof and costed me $55us/48.70 euro in my area. hopefully i'll like it when i open it this christmas
I just can't drink whiskey I have tried a few times but is a big no for me, even with the first sip my stomach and nose say no. For a reason Aberfeldy was the one I was able to drink a few sips with no problem. I bought it as a present to my best friend - huge whiskey lover - when I visited Dewar's distillery in Scotland and insisted on me trying. Nice video
Don't give up. I too hated whisky. I had a mental block from bad experiences with cheap bottom shelf brands, but got reintroduced to the top shelf varieties by an aficionado friend. Never looked back. In fact, became somewhat of an aficionado myself! Slainte!
I love this whisky, it will remind me of Cognac, can anyone tell me if there is still another whiskey with such a wonderful taste and aroma обажаю этот виски, он мне Коньяк напоменает, кто-нибудь может мне сказать если есть еще другой виски с таким прекрасным вкусом и ароматом J'adore ce whisky, ca me rappelle le cognac, quelqu'un peut-il me dire s'il ya un autre whisky avec un goût et un arôme si merveilleux
I love me some Horst Leuning, but he used to have a softer, quieter way of doing his reviews... almost as though he was meditating on each tasting... I miss that.
I've done a few battle of the 12s videos and thought I'd reviewed this one. Turns out I have I just haven't edited it yet. Anyway I find this one ok. A little on the dull side but a decent little dram if you can get a deal for £30.
The aftertaste he is way off, not medium to long by any stretch. When swallowed it takes all flavors with it, zero after taste is more accurate. Best 34 dollar of single malts produced. It's that good,.,,,!
Agree! Bought that one 3 years ago. Disgusting was the only way to describe it. Had to bin it. Seen many people seems to like it. Suspect I must got a bottle from a bad batch or something

I was introduced to it at Sam's Club.
$33
Insane value. Great taste. Very approachable single malt.
My new go to Scotch.
One of my favorite value single malts as well as one of the whiskys I introduce to people when it's their first time drinking whisky
I'll take whiskey recomendations from Grand Moff Tarkin any day!
Yup. I've quickly grown a liking to it. It's a tasty whisky, but the pricing is pretty low end. Very affordable, but pretty good quality.

This whiskey is amazing for it's price. Here where i live you can buy it for roughly 35 bucks
Watching your review really calms my mind, quite enjoyable also, good vid sir
Whisky bore

My man was gargling that thing hard. Definitely a veteran to the whisky game.

I bought for $40, in miami. I'm still a beginner, but I've had many that cost more. Delightful beverage, thanks for walking me through it.
I recently picked up a bottle of this, I really like it. 👍🏼🥃

Really very nice review, after Sir Horst review i will never be buying garbage whiskey anymore
Bought this up in Nova Scotia on a golf trip to the Cabot courses! Amazing stuff! Not good for the night before a round though...😁
11/2020, 750 ml, A 12yr., $50.00, PA., USA. Enjoyed it very much. Thx for the review. 😎
just bought this as a Christmas gift to myself lol can't wait to try in 2 days! :)
Happy xmas
Good Whisky 🥃 Railfan Whisky 😎😂🚂👍👍👍👍👍 Love the Box with painted train !
Sorry for the rookie question, but when you smell fruits... Does that mean they include those fruits when they make the whiskey?
Thanks
No, when we talk about our impressions and tastes of whisky, it just means that we are reminded of these aromas, not that they are necessarily used in the production process.

@@Whiskycom I see, thank you!
Love these video reviews!

This one is a smooth sweet one with a hint of spice.
Great video, thank you.
Please review the newer Deanston 12, I think it is one of the best 12-year-olds out there, and definitely a great VFM.
The only scotch I love above Aberfeldy 12 as a day to day drinking scotch is the Glenlivet 12. Aberfeldy absolutely hit this expression out of the park! I love Aberfeldy!
Aberfeldy makes some really tasty whiskies.
Im fan of SCAPA SKIREN. but this is absolutly underrated! Good whisky for around €35!!!
i just bought a bottle of the golden dram version that is 80 proof and costed me $55us/48.70 euro in my area. hopefully i'll like it when i open it this christmas
Would you guys reccomend aging it?

J'adore ce whisky, ca me rappelle le cognac, quelqu'un peut-il me dire s'il ya un autre whisky avec un goût et un arôme si merveilleux
Just finished a bottle of the 16 year old, going back to the 12 to see what it is like.
Try the 21, living and working in Feldy my whole life, ive heard its the best we have to offer.
Horst knows how a tasting should, be done.
Next whisky to try after Glenmorangie lasanta 12 yrs old 😀👌
Good stuff for the price 🥃
Great whisky - $85 in Australia so not that cheap
Wow so expensive in oz,only 25 quid here in uk
About $60 here in Canada
$53 in the USA at my shop
I found a clear peach note in this. Pineapple I could see too.
Wow!

Aberferldy the golden dram👍
I loved this whiskey.... Better than chivas, black label
Black label is trash
Not bad, just forgettable. Got a bottle for like 15 bucks on clearance. Don't regret it at that price. Easy to drink.
It does smell and taste great…but a hangover it gives enen after 1 glass is a killer. It’s one of these whiskys i am afraid to drink😢
anyone else get strong green apple on the nose?
Agreed that its a mass market, beginners type of whisky. Nothing special or outstanding about it when it comes to taste.
The aftertaste he is way off, not medium to long by any stretch. When swallowed it takes all flavors with it, zero after taste is more accurate. Best 34 dollar of single malts produced. It's that good,.,,,!
Best 12 years ever.
Alex, what is it similar to in term of good taste and Vicosity?. Thanks.
Hard say, maybe is Cardhu.
@@salamancajin Cardhu would be my suggestion as well.
clearly you've never tried Glendronach 12, either that or your palette is completely broken ;)
How is it compared to the Balvenie Double Wood, Ardbeg 10 or the Cardhu Gold Reserve?
While this is not a "bad" single malt scotch it really did bore the hell out of me when I tried it about a year and a half or so back....
Is this guy a gay vampire?
Hahaha,,,, lol
You tell us seem to know lol.
This is one of the most boring single malts out...
Yes, I think boring hits the nail on the big flat spot on the top. And limited? To 4 on every Liquor Store Shelf in Murica?
His nose is a bit off.
Yeah more like 4:30
Such a poor whisky. Maybe the worst single malt possible, and that's hard to do.
Err, OK. To each their own.
I'd give the title to a few Bowmores I've had to be honest. At least Aberfeldy doesn't taste of soap.
Agree! Bought that one 3 years ago. Disgusting was the only way to describe it. Had to bin it. Seen many people seems to like it. Suspect I must got a bottle from a bad batch or something
Agree, boring and bland
