God I fucking love those boots 🖤

Aberfeldy 12

I've had this bottle in my cabinet for at least two years, and decided to open it. The box that housed tge bottle was a beautiful brass colored metal box with a hinged door. Very nice, and possibly the reason I haven't opened it until now.

The whisky is appealing to the eye with a rich beautiful honey amber color. The initial pour wafted a wonderful aroma, that soon diminished. The first nose from the glass promised a great first taste, but after a few short minutes in the glass, much of this was lost.

I was quite dissapointed with the first taste. Very flat on the front, no special "forward" notes, but the mouthfeel was pleasant and smooth. The finish seemed short and bitter-oakey, however further tastes improved and the finish lingered with a bit of pepper, but the bitter oak remained.

I let it sit for a few minutes before trying again. I had finished a cigar 15 minutes earlier and thought perhaps residual smoke was altering my taste. My mouth now cleaned out, I tried again.

The aroma never came back - not much there, but the taste improved. Still not what I was hoping for.

It's not a great whisky. I have had whiskies $15-$20 cheaper with far better flavor. My recommendation is to pass by this one and go straight to a Tomatin 12. You'll save a few bucks and enjoy it more.

наступает самый жуткий сезон и у меня есть любимые фотографии, сделанные в прошлом году 🍂🥀

"Великолепие ярких красок, несколько, недель пылавших на холмах вдоль берегов гавани Четырех Ветров, постепенно поблекло, превратившись в нежную сероватую голубизну поздней осени. Пришли дни, когда поля и прибрежная полоса были едва различимы за пеленой дождя или дрожали под порывами унылого ветра…"

The Limestone Pavement Landscape of Prehistoric Oddendale, nr Shap, Cumbria.

This area was used extensively through the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Copper Age and Iron Age. Stone circles surround it and settlements, field boundaries and funerary monuments seem to be sourced from it.
