Tasting Notes

Colour

A radiant copper-gold with amber depths and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Sherry-driven richness greets the nose with fig and plum, unfolding into honeyed malt, vanilla and toffee. Cocoa, almond and toasted oak add depth, while warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—linger, hinting at Aberfeldy’s fruit notes amid a polished, enduring finish.

Palate

Silky and balanced on the palate, it reveals honeyed orchard fruit, toffee and dried raisin from the sherry influence, with vanilla, almond and a gentle spice. Subtle oak provides a refined backbone, guiding a warm, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, velvety finish with sherry-influenced sweetness, raisin and fig, intertwined with warm malt and cocoa-kissed oak, fading to a soft, lingering spice.

Dewar's
Dewar’s is a blended Scotch whisky founded in Perth in 1846 by John Dewar, who began as a wine and spirits merchant before building one of Scotland’s best-known whisky names. The business grew strongly under his sons, John Alexander Dewar and Tommy Dewar, with Tommy’s international travels helping take Dewar’s into export markets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
