Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, radiant amber with coppery glow and mahogany edges—a rich, sherry-kissed hue.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven profile: dark fruit mingles with honeyed orchard sweetness, ribbons of raisin and fig entwined with toasted almond and caramel. Orange zest lifts spice notes of cinnamon and clove, while polished oak adds a resinous backbone. A bold, silky prelude to the cask-strength palate.
Palate
Opulent and powerful on the palate, this Aberfeldy single cask unfolds with dark cherry and plum, raisin and fig folding into luscious toffee, caramel and honeyed malt. Sherry influence adds cocoa, toasted oak and spice—cinnamon, clove and a peppery lift—leading to a long, velvety finish that coats the mouth with warm, lingering sweetness.
Finish
Silky and generous, the finish unfurls with sherried fruit and spice, as dark cherry and fig melt into cocoa, orange zest and gentle oak. Lingering warmth tightens with cinnamon and clove, tapering to a long, nutty sweetness that clings on the palate.
