Aberfeldy 20 Year Old Small Batch Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

‘

Detailed DescriptionThis whisky initially spent 20 years in hand-selected refill casks before being transferred to mature in Sauternes wine casks for a further a year. Malt Master Stephanie Macleod remarks on this whisky: “When finishing whiskies, I want to complement the distillery character. Aberfeldy has a glorious honeyed richness, and with this expression, I wanted to add a further layer of flavour complexity, and enhance the maturing malt but not mask it. The Sauternes wine cask helps highlight Aberfeldy’s sweet notes of honey and brings golden syrup balanced with citrus peel, peaches and almonds.”Aberfeldy 20 Year Old Small Batch Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting NotesNose: Nutmeg, honey and plush ripe peaches.Palate: Sweet notes of honey and golden syrup, balanced with citrus peel, peaches and almonds.Finish: An indulgent treat.Distillery InformationAberfeldy Distillery was founded by the John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896, and opened in 1898.
