Product details
Aberfeldy 26 Year Old Exceptional Cask Series Double Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and opulent expression from the heart of the Highlands, crafted with precision and passion at the historic Aberfeldy Distillery. Part of the highly esteemed Exceptional Cask Series—a collection of Single-Cask, Double-Cask, and small-batch releases—this whisky is carefully selected by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod for its remarkable character and depth. Aged for over two decades, this limited-edition release combines the richness of Aberfeldy’s signature honeyed style with the layered complexity imparted by its double maturation in Languedoc red wine casks and finished in Oloroso Sherry casks. With only 282 bottles produced, each individually numbered, this 26-year-old release is a testament to Aberfeldy's tradition of excellence and a coveted treasure for collectors and aficionados.
On the nose, this exquisite whisky unveils a decadent medley of red berries and ripe plum, intertwined with delicate vanilla and sweet aromas. Subtle notes of toasted oak, herbs, and almonds emerge, lending an earthy balance to its rich bouquet. The palate is luscious and full-bodied, showcasing flavors of cherries, dark chocolate, melon, and a touch of warming ginger, culminating in a velvety finish with hints of sherry-infused depth. The Oloroso cask finish imparts a luxurious richness that elevates the whisky’s complexity and texture. Ideal as a contemplative sipper, this expression pairs beautifully with dishes like duck confit, roasted lamb, or dark chocolate desserts, and is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to fully appreciate its intricate profile.
