Aberfeldy 18 Years Bolgheri Tuscan Cask Finish [700ML]

Description

Are you searching for a Highland single malt that beautifully marries Scottish tradition with Italian wine sophistication?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m thrilled to present the Aberfeldy 18 Years Bolgheri Tuscan Cask Finish, a remarkable expression that showcases Premium craftsmanship through innovative cask finishing. This 18-year-old Highland whisky undergoes a distinctive final maturation in Bolgheri wine casks from Tuscany’s renowned Super Tuscan wine region, creating layers of complexity rarely found in traditional expressions. While the Aberfeldy 15 Years Cadillac Wine Cask Finish offers French wine influence, this Tuscan variant delivers an entirely different Mediterranean character that complements the classic Aberfeldy 12 Years profile.

• Distillery: Aberfeldy, established 1896 in the Scottish Highlands
• Region: Highland – known for balanced, honeyed character with fruity undertones
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that maintains complexity without overwhelming heat
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 18 years in traditional oak, finished in Bolgheri Tuscan wine casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals honeyed cereal with red berry compote and subtle oak spice. Palate delivers rich malt sweetness, dark cherries, dried figs, and Mediterranean herbs. Finish is long and warming with lingering wine tannins and gentle spice
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass; add a few drops of water to unlock hidden complexity

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly impressive for its elegant integration of wine influence without overpowering the distillery’s signature honeyed character. After evaluating countless wine-finished whiskies, this stands out for its remarkable balance and sophisticated Italian influence.
