The Aberfeldy 25 y.o. Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish, a 125th Anniversary release, is a rich, fruity Highland single malt, offering notes of honey, peaches, and strawberries on the nose, layered with cocoa, caramel, and cinnamon spice, with a palate of fruit, toffee, vanilla coffee, and malty cereal, leading to a long, spicy, and satisfying finish with hints of dried fruit and baking spice, all enhanced by its Oloroso sherry cask maturation.
