The distillery say "Every year we release an expression of Aberfeldy finished in a different red wine cask. Each one adds different fruit and oak flavours to our delicate spirit. In 2021 Stephanie Macleod selected Cote Rotie red wine casks, a powerful and elegant red wine from the Rhône Valley. They were chosen to bestow expressive and seductive qualities, silky textures and fruits with luscious, red berry characteristics on the 18 year old Aberfeldy single malt.

The distillery says - "The Balvenie French Oak is a vibrant single malt finished in casks which previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine, made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. Pineau is also found as a home-made product in the neighbouring Deux-Sèvres and Vendée départements. This is the first of The Balvenie finishes to explore French Oak. Pineau is akin to cognac in terms of production and flavour; allowing us to capitalise on the rise of this flavour profile. A departure away for our core range the ABV will be 47.6% and non-chill filtered appealing to the changing consumer taste profile for single malt."

The distillery say "Casado (Portuguese for marriage) is a limited-edition bottling which was matured in fresh bourbon barrels for 6 years before 38 casks were selected and married together for 2 years in two 6,000 litres Portuguese red wine vats. The red wine marriage gives the whisky layers of red fruit and spices which complement the vanilla and butterscotch influence of the bourbon barrels beautifully” It is 50ppm and only 12,900 bottles were produced.
The Mossburn Vintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of this Single Malt, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional example of the whisky made by one of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries. We aged this in refill hogsheads for thirteen years before finishing in Bordeaux Barrels.
The distillery say "Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is a limited edition expression that has been created by firstly maturing in hand-selected American oak casks, before being transferred in to ex-Pineau des Charentes casks, which have been hand crafted by using French oak. Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes offers a lighter, sweeter taste layered on the classic Old Pulteney base. The result is a beautiful sweetness that perfectly complements Old Pulteney’s signature salty flavour saltiness, delivering a wonderful dram."
The distillery says "Introducing the newest Cask Exploration edition of our heavily peated Islay single malt, the Port Charlotte PAC:01 2011 demonstrates the versatility of our soft, barbeque smokey Scotch in the highest quality French oak casks.

Bottled at 56.1% abv, this spirit showcases stunning spice and fruit notes. It is a rich and elegant, undeniably Islay single malt."
