Aber Falls Sherry Cask

Aber Falls Single Malt Welsh Whisky Sherry Cask (now bottled at 47% ABV) is a flavour-forward Welsh single malt from the first whisky distillery in North Wales in over a century. This updated higher-strength bottling is positioned as a step up in intensity and texture, with the distillery highlighting that the 47% strength enables non-chill filtration—helping preserve body and flavour, particularly important for a sherry-cask-led style. Presented in a 70cl bottle, it’s an accessible, modern single malt with a clear dried-fruit-and-spice direction.
