Aberfeldy 21 year old Argentinian Malbec Wine Cask Finish, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Dark chocolate, ripe cherries, clove, and evolving notes of kaffir lime leaves and sprigs of fresh rosemary. Flavors of soft cooked fruits, toffee, vanilla, honey-coated mixed nuts, black currant purée, ginger root, cinnamon, and hints of citrus before finally settling on a vanilla caramel note. The finish is long, with red apple, vanilla, and peppercorn. From a robust wine, the ginger and spice flavor indicate this finishing cask has produced an equally robust whisky.
