Part of Aberfeldy’s Exceptional Cask Series, this limited-edition release was selected by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod. Distilled in 2002, the whisky spent the majority of its maturation in refill and rechar hogsheads before being transferred in 2019 to Pauillac red wine casks from Bordeaux, a region celebrated for wines of both elegance and power. Home to iconic estates such as Château Mouton-Rothschild, Château Latour, and Château Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac is known for wines with cassis, blackberry, tobacco, spice, and cedar notes.
The whisky was bottled in 2023, yielding just 804 bottles. The Pauillac cask influence enriches Aberfeldy’s trademark honeyed Highland character with layers of ripe fruit and vinous depth, creating a balance between sweetness and dark berry richness.

Royal Brackla 19 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish is part of the distillery’s Exceptional Cask Series, a range of small-batch and limited releases selected by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod.

Distilled on 24th June 2004, this whisky was matured initially in refill barrels and refill hogsheads before being finished in an Oloroso Sherry hogshead.
