Finishing is the malt master’s art of taking a whisky that’s been matured for the majority of its life in one type of cask, and placing it in another cask type for a period of time to add an extra dimension of flavor. The goal is to use this cask type to complement and elevate the signature character of Aberfeldy, not mask it.
For Aberfeldy 18 Year, Côte Rôtie casks bestow expressive and seductive qualities, silky textures and fruits with luscious, red berry characteristics.
