This Aberfeldy Gifting Set allows you to embark on a journey through the distillery’s maturation process, showcasing the evolution of their signature “Golden Dram” character. All three expressions are bottled at 40% ABV, ensuring a smooth and easy-drinking experience.

12 Year Old

This whisky is the perfect introduction to Aberfeldy. Aged in traditional oak casks, it presents a light golden color. On the nose, you’ll be greeted by a delightful wave of honey sweetness, intertwined with hints of creamy vanilla and citrus zest. The palate offers a burst of honeyed character, complemented by gentle oak spice and a touch of peppery warmth. The finish is smooth and leaves a lingering sweetness on the tongue.

16 Year Old

This expression takes the Aberfeldy experience a step further. Finished in sherry casks, it boasts a deeper amber color compared to the 12 Year Old. The nose reveals a more complex interplay of aromas, with the honeyed sweetness joined by notes of dried fruits like raisins and figs, along with hints of toffee and a touch of oaky spice. The taste profile is richer and more developed, with the familiar honey complemented by the decadent flavors of sherry-soaked raisins, toasted almonds, and a subtle hint of cocoa. The finish is luxuriously smooth and lingers with a touch of dried fruit and spice.

21 Year Old

This whisky represents the pinnacle of Aberfeldy’s artistry. Aged for over two decades in a combination of traditional oak casks and sherry casks, it displays a deep golden color. The nose is a symphony of rich aromas, featuring the signature honeyed sweetness alongside notes of dark chocolate, marzipan, and hints of dried orange peel. The first sip reveals a luxuriously smooth and full-bodied taste. The honey character is now intertwined with the decadent flavors of dark chocolate, marzipan, and hints of toasted nuts. The influence of the sherry casks adds a touch of dried fruit complexity. The finish is incredibly long and satisfying, leaving a lingering warmth and a delightful memory of the complex flavors.
