Aberfeldy launches white Port cask-finished distillery exclusive
The 24-year-old single malt from the Bacardi-owned Aberfeldy is available exclusively from the distillery in Perthshire and its online store.
This latest addition to the Bacardi-owned Dewar’s Aberfeldy’s Exceptional Cask Series is said to reflect ‘Aberfeldy’s continued exploration of wine cask finishing.’
Aberfeldy’s malt master, Stephanie Macleod, said: “The choice of white Port casks was a deliberate one. Port cask maturation is often known for bringing a lively character to whisky, but white Port offers something particularly fresh and vibrant. 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.”
Aberfeldy 24 Year old White Port Double Cask is limited to 252 bottles, priced at £350 (US$465) per 700ml with an ABV of 50.7%.
Visitors to the Aberfeldy distillery will also be able to order the new limited-edition single malt for £13 (US$17) a dram.
“With this release, we wanted to capture something unexpected,” Macleod added. “A whisky that retains the depth and refinement expected of a 24-Year-Old single malt while introducing a brighter, more expressive character through the white Port finish. It is a whisky that transports you, offering a taste of Portugal through the lens of Aberfeldy craftsmanship.”
Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery was established in the Scottish Highlands in 1898 by brothers John Alexander and Thomas Dewar.
Today, it serves as the brand home of both Aberfeldy single malt and Dewar’s blended Scotch whisky.
Previous Aberfeldy Exceptional Cask expressions have included a 22-year-old oloroso Sherry cask-matured single malt, which was bottled in 2025 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the distillery’s visitor centre. The bottling coincided with the launch of a new ‘whisky explorer experience’ for visitors.
Aberfeldy earned five gold medals at The Scotch Whisky Masters blind tasting competition in 2024. Judges described Aberfeldy Madeira Cask 12 Years Old as “very classic: toasted oak, cloves, honey and butterscotch.”
