- Description
- Aberfeldy's 1980 Flora & Fauna at robust cask strength (62%) is a rare survivor from the distillery's pre-Bacardi era, bottled without chill-filtration or adjustment. This is pure Highland whisky as the distillery intended—expect rich honey, orchard fruit, and spice with considerable grip and complexity that demands water to fully explore. For dedicated whisky enthusiasts willing to take time with an older, undiluted spirit.
