A trio of very younger, barely mad Aberfeldy
There aren’t many left that haven’t been completed in some inconceivable cask, are there?

Aberfeldy 9 yo 2014/2023 (59.7%, OB, Distinctive Cask Sequence, bourbon and Scottish oak end, casks #590005–590009, 1152 bottles) 
The final time Scottish oak was given this type of highlight, I consider it was by Glengoyne, fairly a couple of years in the past—until you’ve obtained different examples… Color: gentle gold. Nostril: very toasty, crème brûlée, flambéed banana, fudge, nougat. It’s compact and cheerful! With water: ah pretty—white beers, small-berry eaux-de-vie, service tree, rowan… Mouth (neat): sure, that is good—on sesame oil, particular fudge, and some drops of Gewurztraminer marc which might be moderately unmistakable (the place does that come from?) With water: again to oils, grape pips, sunflower… What enjoyable! End: lengthy, curiously exact, oily, very prettily natural, then toasty once more proper on the remaining signature. Peanut butter. Feedback: a really, very pretty younger creature—light-years away from these inconceivable and completely pointless winey finishings.

Aberfeldy 10 yo 2013/2023 (58.7%, Signatory Classic, Archangel No.3, Kirsch Import, 1st fill oloroso sherry butts, 1343 bottles) 
But once more with that moderately fearsome label—so is that this younger whisky truly deadly? Color: deep gold. Nostril: ultimately, the return of deep-fried Mars bars, rust remover and barely charred plywood. Simply teasing—it does truly scent very good. With water: a great deal of metallic polish and motor oil, previous instruments and firwood charcoal. Mouth (neat): caramel with tar and pepper, smoked tea, and charred American-style bacon. A malt for the Bandidos? With water: a return to civilisation—effectively, practically. Propolis and pure rubber. End: lengthy, resinous, natural, with much more propolis. Feedback: a moderately mad little Aberfeldy, let’s be trustworthy. We do like a little bit of insanity at Château WF, however the stunning official might need ruined the sport.

Aberfeldy 10 yo 2014/2024 (60.7%, Aromatic Drops, refill bourbon, cask #252, 207 bottles)
Aromatic Drops—what a beautiful identify! Color: gentle gold. Nostril: malt in its purest kind, with oils (peanut, sunflower) and a little bit gentle earth, contemporary sawdust, apples from an previous backyard and inexperienced tea. It’s completely pristine. With water: damp chalk and pizza dough, sourdough starter, grist, tapioca… Mouth (neat): oh sure that is good—not difficult, however stuffed with attractive notes of younger calvados, garden juice, grape seed oil and inexperienced pepper. With water: in come the contemporary fruits—admittedly a little bit late—but in addition myrtle, plus lime and prickly pear. End: lengthy, contemporary, pure, malty, with extra inexperienced apple and lemon. Pretty crisp edge. Feedback: couldn’t be extra pure. A demonstrative younger malt whisky, we’d say—only a whisper immature, however who cares, proper?
