Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Red Wine Cask Whisky

The 2023 release in the Aberfeldy red wine cask release series. This limited edition single malt has been ageing for 18 years before finishing in cabernet sauvignon cask hailing from the Napa Valley.

The finishing in Napa Valley wine casks imparts a rich layer of flavour. It is an exceptional addition to the Aberfeldy range.

On the nose, you’ll encounter a bouquet of dark fruits, ripe plums, and a hint of oak. The palate offers a luscious blend of honey, blackberries, and a touch of red wine sweetness. Balancing the flavours with subtle notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is long and elegant, with a delicate influence of tannins from the wine casks, adding a refined complexity.
