Aberfeldy Description
Finishing is the malt master’s art of taking a whisky that’s been matured for the majority of its life in one type of cask, and placing it in another cask type for a period of time to add an extra dimension of flavour. The goal is to use this cask type to complement and elevate the signature character of Aberfeldy, not mask it. As such, Stephanie MacLeod, Malt Master, carefully monitors maturation and flavour development in each cask until the desired flavours have been achieved; then the whisky is deemed ready to be bottled.
Cote Rotie casks bestow expressive and seductive qualities, silky textures and fruits with luscious, red berry characteristics.This sumptuous dram is bursting with intense, rich fruity red berry notes of raspberry, lingonberry and red currents smothered in honey. Deeply evocative of an Eton Mess pudding. A zing of candied citrus peel brings balance before mellowing to a smooth vanilla and butterscotch sweetness.
