Decadent Drinks Equinox & Solstice Aberfeldy 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This year’s Autumn Edition of Equinox & Solstice is a small batch mix of two refill barrels of Aberfeldy, both filled in 2013 and bottled at 10 years of age at this series’ trademark drinking strength of 48.5%.  

This is a robust and characterful dram that showcases Aberfeldy’s typically ‘fuller bodied’ highland profile. Dry, mineral and waxy with bags of rich cereal character and a gentle biscuity sweetness underneath. Perfect warming whisky for Autumn. 

This year’s series features a set of wonderful original artworks by Skye-based artist Ellis O’Connor. 

Nose: rich and punchy cereals with underlying notes of waxes, lemon rind and gentle biscuity notes. Easy, characterful and direct with a lovely ‘Highland’ personality.
Palate: a great balance between sweet and drier components, classical distillate driven highland malt whisky with mineral oils, waxes, citrus notes and sweeter cereal undertones.
Finish: good length, becoming drier with some aniseed, buttered toast and white pepper warmth in the aftertaste.
