Aberfeldy ABERFELDY 1975 19yo Glen Quaich #3942 'Perthshire' 58.2% One of 243 bottles The aroma featured a pleasant old sherry, concentrated grape notes, Armagnac, caramel, and underlying barley character with some earthiness and leather. On the palate, it started with a smooth mouthfeel expanding into rich, jammy grape and plum flavors with a pleasant tannic finish. The complex taste included earthy, leathery nuances. [Very Good] Bottled by Cleghorn Distillers as Glen Quaich, this Perthshire-labeled single malt was distilled in 1975 and aged for 19 years. Though not explicitly stated, it refers to Aberfeldy Distillery in Perthshire. The first impression was a very pleasant sherry character dominating, with intense grape notes reminiscent of Armagnac. The barley character was subtle but present, and the matured bottle offered a refined earthiness and leather nuance. The palate was smooth with no sense of alcohol strength, delivering a concentrated fruity sensation beyond the aroma. While not strongly honeyed or malty (house style characteristics), it balanced sherry cask sweetness with a pleasant tannic structure, offering complex and delicate intoxication. Considering its aging process, this bottle was perfectly at its drinking peak. The content was diverse yet unobtrusive, and I found it very delicious.
