Aberfeldy Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, sunlit bronze glow.

Nose

A lush, honeyed bouquet of ripe orchard fruit and vanilla, unfolding to dried apricot and fig. Subtle sherry sweetness adds toasted almond, cocoa, and caramel, while soft oak and spice lend a warm, malted depth.

Palate

Silky and honeyed on the palate, with orchard fruits—ripe pear and apple—lifted by warm vanilla and gentle oak. Rich toffee sweetness underpins the malt, while sherry cask influence yields dark raisin, fig and a touch of cocoa. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice weave through a creamy, well-balanced structure, finishing long with a lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, warmly spiced and honeyed, the finish lingers with orchard fruit sweetness giving way to rich dried fruits, orange zest, and a hint of chocolatey oak; a refined, silky fade that leaves a softly nutty, sherried echo.
