Aberfeldy 21 Years Old

Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Alcohol content is 40% ABV (80 proof). Age statement is a minimum of 21 years matured in oak casks. The whisky is produced from 100% malted barley and freshwater from the Pitilie Burn, a natural stream known for its alluvial gold deposits. Fermentation uses extended, long fermentation in traditional larch wood washbacks to maximize formation of fruity esters and honeyed top-notes. Distillation uses slow batch distillation in large, high-shouldered copper pot stills. Maturation uses a cask matrix of 1st-fill and refill Bourbon casks (American white oak), Oloroso Sherry butts, and re-charred oak casks. The appearance is deep golden amber with rich orange highlights. No specific cask proportions, distillation run details, or chill filtration status are provided by the producer. Over two decades of maturation, active interaction with oak filters out sharper attributes, infusing the spirit with natural wood lactones (coconut aromas) and developing a dense oily structure.
