Aberfeldy 18 Year Old finished in Pauillac wine casks offers a luxurious experience that combines the rich tradition of Highland single malt whisky with the complex influence of Bordeaux red wine. This expression begins its journey in carefully selected refill casks for 18 years before being enriched with an additional 4-5 months in first-fill Pauillac wine casks. The result is a whisky that beautifully balances the sweetness of Aberfeldy’s signature honey and creamy vanilla notes with the robust characteristics imparted by the wine cask finish.
