Aberfeldy 18 Year Old / Sangiovese Italian Wine Cask Highland Whisky

Dmitri Volkov — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and wow. 18 years of age really shows in the depth — layers of baked apple, cinnamon, and dark chocolate with that gorgeous Sangiovese wine influence underneath. I nursed a dram neat over an hour and kept finding new things. At £100 it's not cheap but it feels worth every penny.

Felix Moreau — Best Aberfeldy I've ever had

10/10

I've worked through most of the Aberfeldy range and this Sangiovese finish is head and shoulders above the rest. The combination of that heather-honey Highland character with Italian red wine tannins and dried cherry is just stunning. Sipped it neat over three evenings and every session revealed something new. Already looking for a backup bottle.

Ruth Banks — The wine cask finish really works here

9/10

I was skeptical about another wine cask finish but the Sangiovese brings dark cherry and dried fig notes that pair beautifully with Aberfeldy's honeyed malt. At 46% it's got enough punch to carry those fruit notes without being hot. One of the better wine-finished Highlanders I've tried neat.

Amira Benali — Perfect after-dinner dram

8/10

This has become my go-to pour after a big meal. The wine cask gives it this rich, almost dessert-like quality — think plum pudding and dark chocolate — without being sweet or cloying. The 46% keeps it lively on the tongue. I've been rationing the bottle because I don't want it to run out.
