ABERFELDY DISTILLERY, 25-YEAR 125TH ANNIVERSARY
LIMITED EDITION, SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
HIGHLANDS, SCOTLAND
Why Buy: To mark the occasion of its 125th anniversary, Aberfeldy has crafted something special: a 25 Year single malt, gorgeously finished in Oloroso sherry casks, that’s as smooth and timeless as anything this venerated Highlands master has ever released.
The Story: To celebrate the year of its founding (1898, by the Brothers Dewar, Tommy and John Alexander) Aberfeldy's much-garlanded Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod, and distillery manager John Mackenzie understood the great challenge before them: how to come up with a bottle worthy that was worthy of the exalted occasion? A parcel of casks that had been stowed away in the producer's warehouse for more than two decades provided the first part of the answer. To Macleod – twice named "Master Blender of the Year" by Whisky Magazine – then fell the duty of coaxing forth the subtle, delicate qualities that a quarter-century had wrought. That she has done, and with great distinction.
The Specs: 46% ABV (92 proof), non-chill filtered, and with no caramel coloring or additives.
Our Tasting Notes: Start with the characteristic honeyed smoothness that has earned Aberfeldy the sobriquet "the golden dram." Now accent it, on the nose, with aromas of wild strawberries and sun-ripened peaches, cocoa powder, caramel, and spicy cinnamon. Those rich, redolent aromatics prime you for something succulent on the palate, and sure enough, what follows is as lush as you could hope for. The fruit notes are sophisticated, and well-supported by a malty, cereal base, with just a hint of vanilla and coffee shining through. The finish? Seamless and long.
Fun Fact: The distillery's water source is called Pitilie Burn (“small river," in Gaelic), and literally contains tiny deposits of alluvial gold.
Our Guarantee: We always buy and source direct, so rest assured – your single malt will arrive in your hands with pristine provenance. Order yours today!
