Aberfeldy Distillery lies within the quaint village of Aberfeldy, Perthshire. Aberfeldy whisky is known as the ‘Golden Dram’.

This expression is finished in Oloroso Sherry casks, imparting juicy sweetness to the whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Raisins and cinnamon at first, before moving onto butterscotch, caramel and apple slice. A touch of floral malt, too.

Palate: Well rounded and mellow, but not lazy at all. More apple at first, soon joined by clementine segments and honey on toast. A spark of ginger.

Finish: Waxy peels and oak.

What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Aberfeldy 16

Quote 1 “Simple smooth scotch. Nice for your non-whisky drinking friends.  Interesting mixture of sherry and bourbon.  Not too sweet as a full sherry cask matured, and not as dry as a bourbon cask matured.  A plesantly balanced best of both worlds approach”

Quote 2 “Great fruity notes with a hint of smoke which is unusual for Aberfeldy but really good…”

Quote 3 “Simply, not shy, but not overwhelming. An easy drinker for newbs or folks that do not care for the deeper drams”
