There is a lot to like about Whisky Review: Aberfeldy 15 Year Finished In Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Casks on paper. At 43% ABV, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
43% ABV. Mash bill: 100% Malted barley. 86 Proof. MSRP 69.99 USD. Like any good highland single malt, theres an initial body of malted cereal. With a little exploration of the smell, I can find the influence of the cabernet sauvignon in the notes of rich, ripe grapes. As the combination mixes and settles, I get a feeling of jammy raspberry, like a good cabernet.
