The result is a luxurious dram with sweet orchard fruits, succulent pear, and caramelized apples taking centre stage. Delicate notes of vanilla and heather honey weave through the palate, while undertones of toasted oak and gentle clove provide a satisfying balance. The finish is exceptionally smooth, leaving a soft echo of honey and spice.

The 22-Year-Old release has been specially chosen by Stephanie Macleod, ABERFELDY’s renowned Malt Master, who commented:

“With finishing, the goal is always to complement, never mask, the whisky’s inherent qualities. For this 22-Year-Old, we monitored the cask development carefully to ensure the Oloroso influence provided depth, warmth, and additional layers of fruit and spice. It felt like the perfect way to mark 25 years of welcoming visitors to the distillery—by sharing a whisky that reflects the character and craft we’ve become known for.”

With only 552 bottles available worldwide, the ABERFELDY 22-Year-Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish is a true collector’s item; an elegant celebration of ABERFELDY’s heritage and a toast to 25 years of welcoming visitors from around the globe. This whisky will be available for £195 from the distillery itself and its online store here.

As part of the 25th anniversary celebrations, Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery will also host a series of special events, tastings, and behind-the-scenes experiences throughout the year, inviting whisky lovers to explore the legacy, craft, and community behind its award-winning ABERFELDY single malts and DEWAR’S ® Blended Scotch whiskies.
