Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Whisky Sangiovese Red Wine Finish

Finishing is a true craft that demands great precision and care - an art that Aberfeldy’s Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod, expertly employs to highlight subtle nuances and deepen the complexity of each expression. After a patient 18 years of slow maturation in carefully selected traditional oak casks, this exceptional whisky is then transferred to first-fill Sangiovese wine casks for its final flourish. The choice of these fresh casks ensures maximum impact, imparting bold and vibrant notes of red berries, ripe plums, and soft, warming spice, all while enhancing and never overpowering Aberfeldy’s signature smooth, honeyed character.

The Sangiovese grapes, sourced from the renowned Valdarno di Sopra region in Tuscany, are prized for their vibrant acidity and luscious red fruit profile. These distinctive qualities translate beautifully into the whisky, lending a refined richness and layered complexity that elevate the dram to new heights. To preserve the whisky’s natural integrity, it retains its full-bodied texture and depth through natural colouring and non-chill filtration, ensuring a richly expressive experience in every sip.

Elegant, expressive, and beautifully balanced, Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Sangiovese Finish is a standout member of our red wine cask collection. It is crafted for those who appreciate the art of finishing and the nuanced interplay between whisky and fine wine - perfect for sipping slowly, sharing with friends, and savouring while this limited release lasts.

Indulge in rich aromas of ripe cherries and succulent red plums, beautifully layered with candied orange peel and honeyed figs. Delicate floral hints of violet unfold alongside subtle clove spice, all complemented by a touch of vanilla and warm toasted oak.
