  • AGING:

    21 Years

Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made exclusively from barley that is milled through the distillery's Porteus mill before being mashed and then fermented in stainless steel washbacks. Following fermentation, the whisky is distilled once through Aberfeldy's copper-pot wash stills and then again through its copper-pot spirit stills. Then, Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Single Malt is matured in a combination of casks that were previously used to mature bourbon and casks that were previously used to mature sherry.

21 years of aging has added dignity to Aberfeldy's distinctive heather honey softness. The taste lingers like a fine liqueur with its long, dry finish enhanced by notes of mature Seville oranges, spices, vanilla, and sandalwood. Sip and savor this exclusive whisky.

This richly textured dram is matured in a combination of ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon oak casks for 21 years. Over two decades of resting in oak has added an overall richness; wood exerts its influence but doesn’t overwhelm. Abounding in heather honey, creamy macadamia nuts and chewy beeswax. Plush with dried fruits, toasted coconut, silky oak and a wee trace of smoke.

Following fermentation, the whisky is distilled once through Aberfeldy's copper-pot wash stills and then again through its copper-pot spirit stills. Then, Aberfeldy 21 Year Old Single Malt is matured in a combination of casks that were previously used to mature bourbon and casks that were previously used to mature sherry.

As a result, the whisky has an aroma of toasted malt, honey, fruit cake and citrus that give way to notes of heathered smoke, caramel, creamy vanilla and ash. The finish is long and spicy, with a touch of charcoal and stone fruits.

Aberfeldy's 21-year-old was re-launched with a new design in 2015 and lies within their core range of bottlings (12, 16, 18, 21 & 28 year olds). It's a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks and has won several gold medals and 'best in show' awards. It's a whisky that has always held a soft spot in my heart, and one to this day which I still use as a 'learning tool' for introducing newbies to the woodier flavors which can be associated with longer periods of cask maturation.

This Highland single malt whisky boasts aromas of honey, citrus, toasted malt and fruit cake that evolve into creamy vanilla, caramel and smoke.

It was awarded Best Highland Single Malt Whisky at the 2014 World Whiskies Awards.

Aged for 21 years in a combination of used Bourbon and Sherry casks, this Highland single malt whisky is made exclusively from barley milled at the distillery’s Porteus mill.

About the Producer

Our Distillery is nestled within a lush valley in the foothills of the Centrals Highlands of Scotland, in the village of Aberfeldy and a stone’s throw from the birthplace of our founder’s father, John Dewar.

The pool of the water god, The Pitilie Burn is our water source. Our lifeline, pure and fresh, the burn is known to contain deposits of alluvial gold.

Sit down and unwind in Aberfeldy’s sweet honeyed richness. Scottish malted barley and longer fermentation times – which create more flavor-bearing esters – trigger the hallmark honey notes of Aberfeldy Single Malt. We then slowly distil in Alembic copper pot stills and age to perfection in the finest oak casks – a combination of barrels, hogsheads and butts.
