This whisky was part of a small get-together. The soft fruit worked well, especially with a splash of soda; still, the alcohol stood out too much. A solid four rather than a five.

I let Aberfeldy Single Malt 16 Year sit for a moment before tasting it. I noticed some light smoke, but mostly the alcohol stood out too much. Maybe better in a stronger mix, though I wouldn't buy it for sipping.
smooth - smokyThis whisky was easy to test in a basic mixed drink. It opened with warm oak, then moved into light smoke without losing balance. This one earned a place on my repeat list.
