- Description
- This 1980 Aberfeldy at cask strength (62%) predates the Bacardi acquisition and represents a vanishing style of Highland whisky bottled without chill-filtration or reduction. Expect the distillery's signature honeyed malt character to anchor a complex profile—the Madeira finish adds nutty, rancio, and dried citrus complexity that only reveals itself with time and a few drops of water. A collector's piece for those seeking older, traditionally-bottled Highland character.
