Allt-a-Bhainne Infrequent Flyers Single Recioto Della Valpolicella Wine Cask #805184 Whisky 20 Year Old · 2005 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with rich mahogany undertones and a warm, reddish-golden glow.

Nose

Opulent, wine-kissed nose: cherry, fig and raisin mingle with dried plum from the Recioto finish. Rich vanilla, toffee and cocoa weave through spice—cinnamon and clove—with polished oak. A lacquered sweetness and velvety warmth linger, with hints of almond and a touch of balsamic.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, it carries dark fruit richness—cherry, fig and prune—layered with cacao and toasted almond. Velvet oak weaves through, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—adds complexity. At 59.1% ABV the palate is lush, poised, and long, finishing with wine-kissed sweetness that slowly dries to a resonant, lingering finish.

Finish

Opulent, long finish with dark cherry, prune and fig fruit carried by the Recioto cask’s red-wine sweetness. Spiced with cinnamon and cocoa, it coats the palate in velvety warmth, finishing on polished oak with a lingering raisiny, sherry-like glow.
