Aberfeldy Exceptional Cask Series 19 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Dewars, (owners of Aberfeldy) continue their move into the 'limited edition' market with a nineteen year old release of 2256 bottles. Labelled under the 'Exceptional Cask Series', this particular batch was finished in an oloroso sherry cask then reduced down to 43% Alc./Vol. Which begs a question, if it was an exceptional cask - why the finishing? Official notes describe vibrant passionfruit flavours balanced against more savoury notes, concluding with a flash of frangipane. 43% Alc./Vol.
