​​​​​​The Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Argentinian Malbec Wine Cask Finish is a distinguished limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky, showcasing the distillery’s commitment to innovative cask finishing. Distilled on November 14, 2001, it matured for over two decades in a combination of refill barrels and hogsheads before undergoing an additional finishing period of approximately eight months in Malbec French Oak wine casks sourced from Finca Ambrosia, a single estate winery in Argentina.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The aroma reveals sweet, toasted cereal notes accompanied by herbal nuances of sage and rosemary. As it develops, ripe strawberries drizzled in Highland honey emerge, sharpened by hints of blackcurrant, and melting into floral notes of rose and violet with a subtle background of cinnamon spice.
• Palate: On the palate, the whisky offers a harmonious blend of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, characteristic of Malbec wines. These fruit flavors are complemented by nuanced notes of cocoa powder, violet flowers, leather, and sweet tobacco spice, leading to a creamy vanilla and endlessly smooth finish.
• Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with the fruit flavors persisting and gradually giving way to a soothing vanilla creaminess.​

Bottled at 46% ABV, this expression is part of Aberfeldy’s Red Wine Cask Collection, reflecting the distillery’s exploration of unique cask finishes to enhance the complexity of their single malts.​
