Initially matured in a combination of first-fill, re-fill, and re-char Bourbon casks, it receives a final touch of elegance with a six-month finishing period in premium first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks, adding layers of depth and complexity.Each bottle of this exceptional single malt comes with a complimentary Aberfeldy Whisky Fudge.
Tasting Note by Aberfeldy:Sherried and full like fruitcake, with dabs of rich dark choclate and a soothingly rich, mouth-coating finish.
The 2022 release of Aberfeldy's 18 Year Old is an exquisite blend, saturated with the luscious aroma of cherry frangipane. Matured in Bolgheri Tuscan red wine casks, the whisky is enriched with the signature robustness of the wine, echoing profound flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and dark cherry. These wine-soaked casks further introduce an intense oak finish, making Aberfeldy’s malt a harmonious amalgamation of the best of both worlds. This edition, being a limited release, offers a remarkable and memorable sipping experience for the discerning palate.
Tasting Note by Aberfeldy:With heady of notes of cherry frangipane and vanilla spice. It’s then freshened with sliced green pepper and limes, and finishes with soft oak.
