Aberfeldy 18-Year-Old Napa Valley Red Wine Cask Finish is an outstanding single malt Scotch whisky, highlighting the craft of cask finishing.
This whisky begins with Aberfeldy’s classic 18-year-old single malt, celebrated for its rich, well-balanced character. It is then given a distinctive twist by being finished in red wine casks from California’s Napa Valley.
Initially, Aberfeldy 18 matures in traditional American oak casks. This imparts familiar notes of vanilla, honey, and a hint of spice.
The extended ageing process enhances the whisky’s depth and smoothness. After this initial maturation, it is transferred to Napa Valley red wine casks. This adds new layers of complexity and unique flavours.
In the glass, Aberfeldy 18-Year-Old Napa Valley Red Wine Cask Finish reveals a deep amber hue with striking ruby highlights. The nose immediately displays the influence of the red wine cask, offering a rich bouquet of aromas.
You can expect to find notes of ripe red berries like blackberries and raspberries, alongside hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of oak.
The red wine casks also introduce subtle nuances of dried fruit and a trace of spice, creating a beautifully balanced aromatic profile.
On the palate, the whisky is smooth and full-bodied. The first sip brings forward flavours of ripe red fruits, paired with a gentle sweetness and a touch of toasted oak.
The Napa Valley red wine cask finish adds complexity, with rich notes of plum, cherries, and a hint of earthiness. Mid-palate, you’ll notice a delicate spiciness and a velvety texture, highlighting the whisky’s refined character.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of sweet red fruit, chocolate, and a touch of spice.
Aberfeldy’s traditional style and the distinctive influence of red wine casks create a whisky that is both elegant and intriguing.
This combination particularly appeals to those who appreciate the subtle flavors achieved through innovative cask finishing.
This expression showcases Aberfeldy’s craftsmanship and their ability to blend traditional Scotch whisky-making with creative ageing techniques.
