Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
The Aberfeldy distillery was established over 100 years ago in 1898, on the south bank of the river Tay. This 12 years old single malt has a honeyed heather nose, full bodied and rounded taste. The finish is dry and elegant, with pronouced spicy characteristics and a hint of seville oranges.
Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt is a classic Islay whisky that balances coastal smokiness with citrus sweetness and subtle spice, making it an approachable yet complex dram. Distilled at Bowmore, the oldest licensed distillery on Islay, this 12-year-old expression is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 40% ABV. It showcases the distillery’s signature style: a harmony of peat smoke, maritime character and fruit-driven depth. The nose opens with aromas of lemon shortbread, sea-air minerality and gentle peat smoke. On the palate, it delivers flavours of salty brine, honey, lemon zest and charred wood, with a touch of citrus and light oak. The finish is smooth and easy, blending sweetness with lingering smoke and a hint of charred wood. Its light honey colour and medium body make it visually inviting and texturally balanced. Bowmore 12 Year Old is often described as a coastal campfire in a glass—rich and pronounced but not overpowering. It’s ideal for those new to peated whisky or looking for a well-rounded Islay malt with both depth and drinkability.
