Aberfeldy 15 Year Old Cadillac French Wine Cask 70cl, 43%

Description

Aberfeldy 15 Year Old Cadillac French Wine Cask 70cl 43% is a distinctive Highland single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the elegant house style of Aberfeldy enhanced through a unique cask finish. Matured for 15 years and finished in rare Cadillac sweet wine casks from Bordeaux, France, this expression offers an intriguing balance between classic Scotch whisky character and luscious dessert-wine influence.

The Cadillac wine region, located in Bordeaux, is known for producing rich sweet white wines made primarily from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. When whisky is finished in these casks, it absorbs subtle layers of honeyed fruit, delicate sweetness, and aromatic complexity that beautifully complement Aberfeldy’s naturally smooth and honey-forward spirit.
