Aberfeldy Madeira Cask Aged 12 Years is a Classic Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky, finished in Madeira Wine Casks. This smooth, sweet dram offers rich rewards for those who like to dig deeper. This is a whisky that is one step beyond the conventional, mainstream offerings and a more interesting choice than the classic malts commonly available. The fruity Highland style of Aberfeldy isfinely balanced yet complex, and possesses the same sweet rich notes that Madeira wine is famed for. By finishing in these casks we’re able to add an extra layer of complexity and spiciness to the final Single Malt. Taste: On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced. Flavors of creamy honey, ripe orchard fruits (such as apples and pears), and malted barley are prominent. The Madeira cask finish brings additional layers of dried fruits, nuts, and a slight sweetness. There are also hints of spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg. Appearance: Rich, golden amber color. Aroma: Notes of honey, dried fruits (such as raisins and sultanas), and a hint of citrus zest. There are also subtle floral notes, vanilla, and a touch of oak.
