ABERFELDY 16 YEAR OLD
MALT MASTER'S TASTING NOTES
16 years
WE LOSE A FAIR BIT TO THE ANGELS
The 'Angels Share' is the whiskey lost over the years while the liquid is maturing in oak cask, disappearing into the air before we're ready to bottle.
Almost half a cask is lost before we're ready to bottle our Aberfeldy 16 years old.
CASK TYPE
Aberfeldy 16 is matured in first-fill, re-fill and re-char Bourbon casks and then finished for six months in deluxe first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FROM 12 TO 16 YEAR OLD?
Aberfeldy 16 is a richer, more full-bodied whisky. The extra time spent maturing, coupled with Oloroso Sherry casks, brings the honeyed fruitiness of Aberfeldy to the fore.
