Aberfeldy Unveils 24-Year White Port Double Cask for Summer

Aberfeldy Celebrates Summer with White Port Double Cask Finish

Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery launches a limited edition Aberfeldy 24 Years Old White Port Double Cask as part of its Exceptional Cask Series, marking a distinctive collaboration between Highland whisky tradition and Portuguese fortified wine heritage. This 24-year-old single malt showcases a rare maturation process that bridges Scotland and the Douro Valley vineyards, resulting in a complex and elegant whisky.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This whisky reveals Aberfeldy’s signature honeyed character enhanced by a finish in carefully selected White Port casks. Known for imparting fresh and vibrant notes, the White Port maturation adds layers of citrus peel, stone fruits, and delicate nuttiness. The expression balances the depth expected of a well-aged single malt with the brightness brought by the port cask influence, crafting a summery, orchard-fruited experience.

Master Blender's Statement

Stephanie Macleod, Aberfeldy’s Malt Master, explains: “The choice of White Port casks was a deliberate one... Rich in notes of citrus peel, stone fruits and delicate nuttiness, the casks complement rather than overpower Aberfeldy’s signature honeyed style, creating an expression that feels bright, elegant and perfectly suited to the season.”

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe orchard fruits, honeyed apricots, citrus blossom
• Palate: Vanilla sweetness lifts alongside fresh stone fruits and gentle nuttiness
• Finish: Elegant and lingering, capturing warmth and vibrancy

This 24-year-old white port double cask finish exemplifies Aberfeldy’s spirit of innovation and craftsmanship, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a refined seasonal malt.
