92 The Whisky Advocate

This Napa Valley addition to the series has a nose of cherry, plum jam, black currant coulis, heather honey, muscovado sugar, and well-integrated spices. The cabernet sauvignon grape flavors are pronounced and layered over honey, malt, plum, tart blackberry, clove, dried fruits, and chocolate. It’s a soothing, decadent drop with a velvety texture, the wine cask’s influence steering a confident course through Aberfeldy’s honeyed signature notes.
