Aberfeldy 18 Year Old

Aberfeldy 18 Year Old is the premium age-stated expression from the Perthshire distillery that is the heart malt of Dewar’s blended Scotch — 18 years of predominantly American oak ex-bourbon maturation producing the richest, most developed, and complex expression in the current Aberfeldy standard range.

At 18 years Aberfeldy’s naturally sweet, honeyed, and rounded character has developed significant oak depth — the distillery’s pure Pitilie Burn water and the longer American oak maturation producing deeper vanilla, richer fruit, and more sustained finish than the 12 Year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Aberfeldy 18 compare to the 12 Year?

Six additional years of American oak maturation produces noticeably more developed vanilla and caramel, richer dried fruit, and a longer more complex finish. The 18 Year is the premium expression of Aberfeldy’s naturally sweet Highland character at its most developed and integrated form.

Is Aberfeldy 18 Year good value for an 18-year Highland single malt?

Yes — Aberfeldy is consistently undervalued compared to the major Speyside and Island brands. The 18-year at 40% ABV tends to offer solid complexity and the distillery’s distinctive honeyed character at a competitive price for its age statement.
