Description
Here we have Whisky Sponge’s Autumn edition of Equinox and Solstice for 2023. It’s a single malt from Aberfeldy distillery in Perthshire, Scotland that was drawn from 2 x 2nd fill bourbon barrels filled in 2013 and bottled at an easy-drinking strength of 48.5% ABV. Lean, pure and delicious, this is one whisky that ticks every box and will have you coming back for more.

Whisky Sponge comments.
The cask already displayed a higher than usual show of Teaninich’s more highland, waxy side, but in addition to that, it also has a subtle but distinct layer of peat running throughout. Whether that is from the distillate or the previous cask, we don’t know, but the result is really tasty and very special.

About Aberfeldy Distillery
The distillery was founded by John Dewar & Sons in 1896 on the southern bank of Loch Tay on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy in the highlands of Scotland. The distillery relies on the fresh water stream Pitilie Burn, the only distillery in Scotland to use these waters.

Their original bottlings include the Aberfeldy 12yo, 18yo and 21yo and a series of limited edition bottlings with Aberfeldy single malt at the heart of all Dewar’s Scotch blends.
