Aberfeldy 21 Year Old is a richly honeyed Highland single malt, matured for 21 years in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon oak casks and bottled at 40% ABV. Made from 100% malted barley, it is known as the Golden Dram.
Aberfeldy distillery is built on land famous for deposits of gold in its freshwater supply, the Pitilie Burn, which inspired the Golden Dram nickname. The distillery is the home of Dewar's, and its whisky has long been at the heart of the Dewar's blends.
The whisky abounds in heather honey, creamy macadamia nuts and chewy beeswax, and it is plush with dried fruits, toasted coconut and silky oak, with a wee trace of smoke.
The bottle carries Aberfeldy's classic gold-detailed label, and it is a wonderful gift for a 21st birthday, an anniversary or anyone who loves honeyed Highland whisky.
Enjoy it neat or chilled on the rocks when you want to share great stories with great friends. Twenty-one years in a mix of sherry and bourbon casks gives it a depth and roundness that make it a natural choice for slow sipping after dinner, and its honeyed style is welcoming even to those new to single malt. It also makes a fine introduction to the Highlands for anyone who usually drinks Speyside.
