London, UK, 15th October 2024: ABERFELDY® is delighted to introduce the latest addition to its prestigious Exceptional Cask Series, the ABERFELDY 22-Year-Old White Port Cask Finish. This limited- edition release embodies the award-winning ABERFELDY distillery tradition of excellence, offering whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to experience something truly extraordinary.

Crafted by ABERFELDY’S Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod, each bottle in the Exceptional Cask Series is a testament to her expertise. This 22-year-old expression, finished in White Port casks, offers a delightful balance between Aberfeldy’s rich, smooth character and the vibrant, fruity notes imparted by the cask.

As with all bottles in the Exceptional Cask Series, the ABERFELDY 22-Year-Old White Port Cask Finish is a limited-edition bottling. Each bottle is part of a small, exclusive batch, making this launch an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs. Once these bottles are sold, they will not return, solidifying their status as highly sought-after and rare whisky treasures. With only 281 bottles available, those fortunate enough to secure a bottle, are not just acquiring a whisky, but a piece of Aberfeldy’s legacy, crafted with care and destined to be cherished.

Bottled at 46% ABV, ABERFELDY 22-Year-Old White Port Cask Finish showcases both depth and complexity. This unique character is achieved through a longer fermentation process, which allows more time for the development of intricate flavours. Combined with maturation in the finest oak casks, the whisky is imbued with a smooth, rich profile that perfectly complements the influence of the White Port finish. The signature notes of ABERFELDY whisky are enhanced by fruity vibrancy of the port casks, resulting in a harmonious marriage of flavour. Expect notes of ripe peaches, nectarines, and apricots, complemented by subtle vanilla undertones, orange zest, and a gentle layer of warming spice.

Stephanie Macleod says: “We are delighted to announce the ABERFELDY 22-Year-Old White Port Cask Finish. This latest launch has allowed us to explore the interplay between our signature richness and the vibrant character of White Port casks; the result is a beautifully balanced whisky that combines bright summer fruits with our hallmark smoothness, creating a truly distinctive expression. It’s always exciting to craft something that both honours our traditions and pushes the boundaries of flavour – a treat for whisky lovers and collectors alike.”

The retail price is £218 and is available to buy online exclusively from The Whisky Exchange.
