Golden Dram
Aberfeldy 12 Year
Aberfeldy4.7(100 reviews)
Aberfeldy 12 Year Old is a classic, award-winning Highland single malt Scotch whisky, often referred to as the 'Golden Dram.' Distilled in the heart of Scotland using pure water from the Pitilie Burn, which is famed for its rich gold deposits, it is patiently aged for 12 years in a combination of sherry, bourbon, re-charred, and refill oak casks. This meticulous maturation yields a beautifully balanced Highland malt featuring a rich, honeyed sweetness, notes of wildflower honey, creamy heather, spiced vanilla fudge, toasted almonds, and a delicate touch of gentle peat smoke. An incredibly smooth and warming single malt that perfectly exemplifies the signature Highland style.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up Aberfeldy 12 Year. At ₹6,900 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Wildflower Honey & Heather Cream and Spiced Vanilla Fudge pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”
