Aberfeldy – 15 Year Old Red Wine Cask (70cl, 43%)

Aberfeldy – 15 Year Old Red Wine Cask is a whisky from Aberfeldy (Highland). Aged 15 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. An award winning Eastern Highland malt that was almost unknown until it was bought by Bacardi in 1998. Aberfeldy was built in 1896 specifically for the purpose of supplying whisky for John and Tommy Dewar’s White Label blend. It has a 5-star visitor centre opened in 2000 and its idyllic setting sees the distillery attract over 32,000 visitors a year. In a fantastic effort to make the distillery more ecological, the owners have invested in a biomass boiler to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The 15 Year Old Red Wine Cask is a Limited Edition release that has been finished in Pomerol Red Wine Casks. This adds a fruitiness which gets on with the usual flavours of “the golden dram” like “old friends”.
