New Release: Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Official Bottling Current Version

Aberfeldy ABERFELDY 21yo OB 40%
Bottle #アバフェルディ(ABERFELDY)
The label has changed, but so has the flavor. Aberfeldy ABERFELDY 21yo OB 40% The aroma features ripe plums, orange, vanilla, honey, and a gradually expanding rich malty note. On the palate, it has a soft mouthfeel with ripe orange and gentle honey sweetness, leaving a rounded, mellow finish. 【Good/Very Good】 The official Aberfeldy 21 Year Old has recently received a new label. Previously, the Aberfeldy 21 Year Old had a label that was elegant, light, and offered a fruity estery character with strong aging notes, making it highly cost-effective. However, with this new label, the flavor seems to have changed significantly. While it still offers a variety of fruits, they now feel more mature and rich. The honey-like aroma is noticeably stronger, giving an image of a soft and warm malt. Although the previous label was very delicious, it had been perceived as slightly lacking in the house style compared to other Aberfeldy expressions. This new version feels like a classic Aberfeldy to me. #Aberfeldy (ABERFELDY)
