Whisky with a Golden Touch

Since 1898, ABERFELDY has been known for its soft, honeyed notes, elegant depth and distinctive golden colour. No added flavouring, but the result of natural fermentation, slow distillation and maturation in ex-bourbon casks. The distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands, still uses the pure water of the Pitilie Burn, a gold-bearing river.

It’s not just the colour that’s golden: ABERFELDY has now won more than 200 (!) gold medals at prestigious international competitions. In other words: a whisky with proven class. And a gift tip that’s guaranteed to go down well.

Which ABERFELDY suits your father?

This year, three special expressions are available, each with its own character. So: leave that tie hanging. Keep the barbecue off for a little longer. And give your father something that will really warm his heart this year. The whiskies below are the ideal choice for both beginning and experienced whisky lovers and are available at selected liquor stores.
