SMWS60.25 Aberfeldy 1975/2002 (55.2%, #, 'Apples and Menthol', 184 bottles)

SMWS 60.25 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Aberfeldy, bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as a single-cask release at natural cask strength. Distilled in 1975 and released in 2002, it is a mature example of Highland whisky presented with the individuality that single-cask bottlings are known for.

For a novice drinker, this means an older whisky with more concentration and complexity than many standard bottlings, and a stronger alcohol level that may reward adding a little water. Aberfeldy is broadly associated with a rounded, honeyed Highland style, while the single-cask format can bring extra nuance and variation.
