Tasting Notes
This 24-year-old single malt from Aldi may surprise you with its intriguing aroma of red apples, bourbon, and vanilla, but don't let that entice you too much. The palate is lean, slightly bitter, and lacks depth, delivering an almost sickly sweet punch before the rye spice emerges, leaving an acrid and unpleasant aftertaste. As the finish lingers, it takes an even more off-putting turn, becoming slightly alkali and causing an undesirable mouth-watering sensation. While the premise of a budget-friendly, aged whisky from an unexpected source might seem appealing, this particular expression fails to deliver a truly enjoyable experience, making it a questionable choice for whisky enthusiasts seeking quality and depth of flavor.
