About this product
Honeyed Elegance with a Highland Heart.
Deep in the Perthshire Highlands, the Aberfeldy Distillery has been perfecting the art of single malt whisky since 1898. Known as the “Golden Dram,” Aberfeldy draws its water from the Pitilie Burn, a stream famed for deposits of alluvial gold. This natural treasure, combined with meticulous maturation, gives Aberfeldy whiskies their unmistakable richness.
Aberfeldy 16 Year Old takes that legacy further, spending 16 years maturing in a thoughtful balance of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. The result is a single malt that is both indulgent and refined: layers of heather honey, ripe stone fruits, dark chocolate, and warming spice glide across the palate, leading into a lingering finish with just the right touch of oak. It is a whisky that invites slow appreciation, rewarding every sip with new depth and complexity. For those in Ireland looking to elevate their collection, Aberfeldy 16 offers the perfect bridge between approachability and true connoisseurship.
Why we love it:
We love Aberfeldy 16 for its balance of indulgence and finesse. The extra years in oak bring out a richness and structure that transforms its signature honeyed sweetness into something deeper, more layered, and beautifully sophisticated.
