Crafted to commemorate 125 years of whisky making excellence, this limited edition release embodies the rich heritage, meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive character that have made Aberfeldy a favourite among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
The Legacy Behind Aberfeldy Distillery
Founded in 1898 by brothers John Alexander Dewar and Tommy Dewar, Aberfeldy Distillery has long been recognised as the spiritual home of Dewar’s blended Scotch whisky. Nestled in the heart of Perthshire within the Scottish Highlands, the distillery benefits from access to the renowned Pitilie Burn, a water source famous for its purity and historic deposits of alluvial gold.
For more than a century, Aberfeldy has maintained a commitment to traditional whisky making techniques while continually refining its craft. The release of the 25 Year Old 125th Anniversary Edition honours this enduring legacy and showcases the distillery's dedication to producing exceptional Highland single malts.
A Whisky Crafted for a Milestone Celebration
The Aberfeldy 25 Year Old 125th Anniversary Edition was created to celebrate a significant milestone in the distillery’s history. Matured for 25 years, the whisky reflects decades of patience, expertise and careful cask management. Extended ageing allows the spirit to develop extraordinary complexity while retaining the smooth, approachable character that defines Aberfeldy. The result is a whisky that perfectly balances maturity, elegance and depth.
This anniversary bottling is designed not only to mark an important chapter in the distillery's story but also to provide whisky lovers with a rare opportunity to experience an exceptionally aged expression from one of Scotland's most celebrated Highland producers.
The Character of Aberfeldy 125th Anniversary Edition
This extraordinary single malt opens with an inviting and sophisticated aroma, revealing rich layers of honey, dried apricots, orange peel, vanilla and toasted oak, complemented by delicate floral notes and gentle hints of spice.
On the palate, it showcases the distillery’s signature honeyed sweetness, with flavours of heather honey, caramelised fruits, dark chocolate and baked apples, creating a beautifully balanced profile. Subtle touches of cinnamon, nutmeg and oak spice add depth and complexity while preserving the whisky’s elegant character.
The finish is exceptionally long and smooth, leaving lingering notes of honeyed malt, warming spice and soft oak tannins that reflect the benefits of its extended maturation and carefully managed cask ageing.
The Aberfeldy 125th Anniversary Edition is far more than a celebratory bottling. It is a showcase of 125 years of distilling excellence, capturing the essence of Aberfeldy's renowned honeyed Highland style while demonstrating the remarkable complexity that comes with extended maturation.
