Aberfeldy’s spirit is often associated with a rounded, easy-going style, and here that character is presented in a fresher, more vibrant form at natural cask strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bourbon barrel contributes vanilla sweetness, creamy texture, and delicate oak spice without overpowering the whisky’s underlying elegance. The result is a dram that feels both lively and comforting, balancing freshness with richer pastry-like notes as it develops in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the nose, fresh summer fruits and crisp apples lead the way, bringing brightness and lift. The palate builds into citrus fruits, freshly baked bread, and a gentle peppery warmth that adds structure and depth. As the whisky evolves, sweeter and creamier notes emerge, carrying into a finish reminiscent of glazed pastries and a rich double-shot latte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finish lingers with soft oak, sweet pastry richness, and warming spice, giving the whisky a satisfying balance between freshness and indulgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled at cask strength (52.8% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this is a whisky that delivers texture and flavour while remaining highly approachable. With an outturn of 291 bottles, it’s a limited release that showcases Aberfeldy in a particularly clean and expressive bourbon cask style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA vibrant and easy-drinking Highland malt full of orchard fruit, sweet malt, and gentle warmth, with plenty of charm and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57106340577655,"sku":"NSS-ABF-12-528","price":76.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/north-star-spirits-aberfeldy-12-year-old-2.jpg?v=1779275560","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/north-star-spirits-aberfeldy-12-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
