Aber Falls Vin Santo Cask Finsh (2024) 70cl

New for 2024! More action out of Wales and we will be seeing a lot more come from Wales in the near future. After the success & continued output from Penderyn, other distillery's in the late 2010s have been setting up. One of them being Aber Falls.

This limited edition Welsh single malt from Aber Falls was treated to a finish in Vin Santo wine casks. Vin Santo is a dessert wine originating in Italy, known for its sweet, honeyed flavour and rich amber hue.

The distillery finishes this special release for 18 months in Vin Santo casks, imparting rich and complex flavours to the whisky.

About Aber Falls

The village of Abergwyngregyn is home to the distillery, and sits at the foot of the famous Aber Falls waterfall. Attracting over 50,000 visitors a year, this picturesque spot is easily accessible, just off the A55 and a stone’s throw from the coast.

Previously a slate works in the 19th century, a margarine factory during the world wars, and more recently a drinks wholesaler depot, the building has been lovingly restored and refurbished, proving the ideal place to create their spirits and demonstrate the passion and skill in their craftsmanship.

Aber Falls whisky is unique in both its production and its taste. Working with local farmers, they use only authentic Welsh malted barley and fresh Welsh water, and their recipes have been meticulously built to highlight the quality of these spectacular ingredients.

The spirit must be aged for a minimum of three years and one day before it is legally whisky.

After fermentation, their whisky is distilled in large copper stills, which remove the sulphur from the liquid and help in the formation of esters, giving the spirit a refined, fruity character.
