Aberfeldy 25 Year Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 125th Anniversary Limited Release
$96.59
A refined and celebratory offering, this 25-year Highland single malt is a showcase of Aberfeldy’s craft: time in traditional refill oak gives it a foundation of malt, honey and cereal sweetness, while the Oloroso Sherry cask finish adds warmth, spice, dried fruit and complexity. At 46%, it strikes a fine balance—accessible yet rich. A great choice for those who enjoy sherried whiskies with elegance and aged character.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Released to mark Aberfeldy’s 125th Anniversary since its founding in 1898, this is a special edition reflecting over a century of whisky craft.
-
The whisky has been matured for 25 years in refill hogsheads and butts, then finished for over a year in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks, which impart distinct sherry-influenced character.

Bottled at 46% ABV—a strength that helps preserve the aromatic and flavour nuances while offering a satisfying finish.
