Aberfeldy has partnered with Argentinian Winery Finca Ambrosia, to create a tantalising new addition to its renowned Wine Cask Collection of single malt whiskies.
Distilled on November 14th, 2001, this whisky spent over two decades maturing in Sherry and Bourbon re-fill barrels and hogsheads before undergoing an additional finishing period of approximately 8 months in Finca Ambrosia’s Malbec French Oak wine casks.
The Malbec casks, previously home to Finca Ambrosia’s Viña Unica, are said to imbue the whisky with distinctive notes of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, complemented by nuanced flavours of cocoa powder, violet flowers, leather, and sweet tobacco spice.

Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and boasting natural colour, the Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Malbec Cask Finish sells for £230.
Ad Gefrin, the Anglo-Saxon museum and distillery in Wooler, has released what it describes as the first legal Northumbrian single malt whisky of the modern era, ending a two-century absence of local single malt production. The debut bottling arrives as the Crǣft Series, a collection of three single cask whiskies that offer an early glimpse…

Not socks, not a novelty mug, not a gadget that’ll sit untouched on a shelf, but a bottle of golden liquid crafted purely to delight the senses. In this…
Mystery Malt has returned for its sixth instalment, and according to its creators at Thompson Brothers, it is the biggest release yet. The concept remains delightfully simple: every whisky bottle looks identical, costs the same £65, and arrives concealed beneath a tamper-proof capsule. Buyers know the full list of whiskies that could be inside, but…
