Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Côte-Rôtie Red Wine Cask Whisky

This sumptuous dram is bursting with intense, rich, fruity red berry notes of raspberry, lingonberry and red currants, 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.

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 ex-Côte-Rôtie wine casks for its final flourish. The choice of these casks ensures maximum impact, imparting bold and vibrant notes of red berries, candied citrus peel, smooth vanilla and butterscotch sweetness, all while enhancing and never overpowering Aberfeldy’s signature smooth, honeyed character.

The Syrah grapes, sourced from the renowned Rhone Valley in France, are prized for their high acidity levels and peppery finish. These distinctive qualities translate beautifully into the whisky, lending a refined richness and layered complexity that elevate the dram to new heights.

Elegant and beautifully balanced, Aberfeldy 18 Year Old Côte-Rôtie 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.
