Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Pauillac Red Wine Cask Exceptional Cask Series - 56.9% 70cl

Aberfeldy Distillery was founded by the John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896 and opened in 1898. The distillery is located on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy, on the southern bank of the upper Tay.

Part of Aberfeldy’s Exceptional Cask Series, this limited-edition release was selected by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod.

Distilled in 2002, the whisky spent the majority of its maturation in refill and rechar hogsheads before being transferred in 2019 to Pauillac red wine casks from Bordeaux, a region celebrated for wines of both elegance and power.

Home to iconic estates such as Château Mouton-Rothschild, Château Latour, and Château Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac is known for wines with cassis, blackberry, tobacco, spice, and cedar notes.

The whisky was bottled in 2023, yielding just 282 bottles. The Pauillac cask influence enriches Aberfeldy’s trademark honeyed Highland character with layers of ripe fruit and vinous depth, creating a balance between sweetness and dark berry richness.
