Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Aberfeldy first launched the Red Wine Collection in 2019, and since then it’s featured French and Italian wine cask finishes from several prestigious estates. Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod, now turns her sights to America, finishing an 18 year old in ex-Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks from California's Napa Valley. The whisky demonstrates how Aberfeldy's sweet, honeyed character interacts with the varietal's bold winey notes. 43% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... This Napa Valley addition to the series has a nose of cherry, plum jam, black currant coulis, heather honey, muscovado sugar, and well-integrated spices. The cabernet sauvignon grape flavors are pronounced and layered over honey, malt, plum, tart blackberry, clove, dried fruits, and chocolate. It’s a soothing, decadent drop with a velvety texture, the wine cask’s influence steering a confident course through Aberfeldy’s honeyed signature notes. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
