ABERFELDY 21Y MALBEC CASK FINISH LIMITED RELEASE
Nose Raspberry puree, red grapes, and sage kick things off in a decidedly vinous direction, backed by delicate rose and parma violet. Vanilla, buttery pastries, and honey keep things creamy and very Aberfeldy, with a deep and warming orange citrus note as well as a hint of almond adding depth to the aroma. There’s a kind of blueberry syrup on-pancakes vibe to this nose.
Palate Some wine finishes are sharp and tannic on the first sip but this isn't, it's deep and waxy with a mouth-filling texture. The palate leads with black cherry, stewed plums, and blackberry, with dark chocolate, cinnamon, orange peel, and herbaceous tobacco in support.
Finish Black fruit and a hint of black pepper.
