Aberfeldy 21 Year Old – Argentinian Malbec Wine Cask Finish

Aberfeldy has teamed up with Argentinian winery, Finca Ambrosia, for the most recent edition of its Wine Cask Collection. Distilled on 14 November 2001 and matured for over two decades in sherry and bourbon re-fill barrels and hogsheads, the limited edition Aberfeldy 21 Year Old was then transported to the winery’s Malbec French Oak wine casks for its final eight months. The whisky comes with the bottle of the Argentinian Malbec itself. Nose: Raspberry puree, red grapes, and sage kick things off in a decidedly vinous direction, backed by delicate rose and parma violet. Vanilla, buttery pastries, and honey keep things creamy and very Aberfeldy, with a deep and warming orange citrus note as well as a hint of almond adding depth to the aroma. Palate: The palate leads with black cherry, stewed plums, and blackberry, with dark chocolate, cinnamon, orange peel, and herbaceous tobacco in support. Finish: Black fruit and a hint of black pepper.
