cascode
3.5
Nose: Honeyed fruit with a slight sulphur/camphor stain, however a drop or two of water diminishes this. Palate: Full texture with honey, brine and ginger spice. Some dusty oakiness from the cask but it’s too light to be fully sherry-cask matured. Finish: Medium/Long. A little bitter towards the finale. A quick-hit review of the current cask-strength Aberfeldy that is part of the tour flight. It’s interesting and unmistakably Aberfeldy dialled up to 11, but it’s not the most subtle of drams. Something similar to this is always on the tasting mat for their tours, but in my opinion the OB 21 year old is a better malt. “Good” : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
