Description
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. This Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Limited Edition is first matured in a combination of refill casks, and then finished in ex-Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Barriques, sourced from the world-famous Napa Valley, California’s best known wine-producing region.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: Compared to the 15 year old, this whisky shows a deepening of the red berry aromas. There’s green apple and Aberfeldy’s signature honey floral notes. |
| Taste |
| Distillery: Being older and having spent longer in the wine cask, it’s richer and more decadent, more syrupy versus jammy, and has a softening of the spice notes – the tannin notes, which come across as cinnamon in the 15, dissipate leaving a velvety and more mellow dram. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: Velvety and mellow |
