Aberfeldy 15 Year Old Finished in Bolgheri Red Wine Casks is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky matured 15 years in refill and hogshead casks, followed by a two-year finish in Tuscan Bolgheri red wine casks. Crafted by malt master Stephanie Macleod, it is bottled at 46% ABV and typically retails for about $85.
Incredibly earthy and dense on the finish, the whisky eventually evokes thoughts of crushed gravel and scorched wood, ultimately washing away the wine-soaked qualities that kick things off. Brooding.
Aberfeldy’s honeyed core shines through layers of chocolate, black cherry, clove, nutmeg, plum pudding, and gentle oak. A beautifully poised malt with a long, indulgent finish of chocolate-dipped dark fruits.
