Aberfeldy 14 Year Old 2011 2025 #5609 Spirit of Scotland

About

This Aberfeldy 14 Year Old from 2011 is a powerful single cask from Gordon & MacPhail, bottled under their revived Spirit of Scotland range. At cask strength (61.1%) and matured in a first-fill sherry butt, this Highland whisky combines Aberfeldy's signature honeyed character with bold, dark fruit complexity. With only 565 bottles released, this is a limited expression for connoisseurs seeking rich, full-bodied single malts. The nose reveals dark chocolate, dark fruit, cherry jam and bramble, complemented by resinous and pine notes. The palate is intense and drying, with sherried sulfur influence, aged butter and strong steeped black tea creating a dry mouthfeel. The finish delivers dark fruit jam, bramble and cherry purée, while water brings forth additional spice and herbal complexity. This is a full, assertive whisky demanding respect and patience.
