Aberfeldy 18 Year French Red Wine Cask Finish (2020 Pauillac Edition)

Delicious. Creamy vanilla. Bright citrus. Berry thickness. It's a great sweet, easy sipper that hits quite a few notes. There's the Aberfeldy honey and orange blossom right away and the wine adds a great tang that delivers a chewy berry depth. I don't get the wine as its own isolated flavor in its original form, instead the wine enhances an already solid 18 year old with a slight oak and a heavy berry pie. The finish is not long but it is definitely dessert on my tounge. There's depth here. I'd buy this as a regular bottle even at the $150+ point.

Very good.
