Aberfeldy debuts 15 YO Bolgheri Red Wine Cask Finish

Aberfeldy Single Malt Scotch Whisky has launched the newest iteration in the brand's illustrious Wine Cask Collection, Aberfeldy 15 Year Old Bolgheri Red Wine Cask Finish.

Crafted by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod and her team, the whisky was first matured in refill and hogshead casks for 15 years before being finished for two years in rare Bolgheri casks imported from Tuscany, Italy. This careful process has allowed the red wine cask to complement Aberfeldy’s already exquisite character, adding an extra dimension of flavour.

This new expression features an inviting aroma of dark cherries and ripe plums, leading into flavours of dark chocolate with hints of vanilla and delicate nutmeg, while Aberfeldy’s honeyed notes provide subtle sweetness. The whisky finishes with a lingering touch of soft oak, leaving a smooth, warming impression, perfectly suited for autumn and the holiday season.

The expression is a continuation in Aberfeldy’s limited-edition wine cask finished whiskies, where previous iterations have included a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, a velvety and complex Pomerol, a bordeaux with elegant structure and balance, and a Rhône from the Rhône Valley in France.

Bottled at 46 percent ABV, Aberfeldy 15YO Bolgheri Red Wine Cask Finish will be available at a SRP of USD 84.99.
