被譽爲The Golden Dram, 因爲酒廠的水源供應是從Pitilie Burn河流而來，河流出名是因爲包含了黃金的成份，此酒除了香氣非常迷人，更增添了獨特的高貴感受。
此酒由連續 4 次獲得國際威士忌大賽「年度最佳首席調酒師」的 Stephanie MacLeod精心釀造
An exciting addition to the Aberfeldy range, this whisky was laid to rest for 16 years giving dark chocolate flavours and more roundness to the whisky. Finished for 6 months in Oloroso sherry casks to layer fruitcake and dried fruit flavours, Stephanie Macleod describes this a a gentle kiss of sherry. There is still plenty of citrus and honey flavour coming from the careful way that we craft our whisky at Aberfeldy Distillery.
Aberfeldy 16 is matured in first-fill, re-fill and re-char bourbon casks, then finished for 6 months in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks.
Once you have tried the 12 year old, Aberfeldy 16 delivers a richer and more full-bodied experience compared to the 12, with more time maturing in casks and a touch of premium Oloroso Sherry cask that gives a more lingering aromas of honey, dried fruits like figs and black dates.
ABERFELDY艾柏迪16年單一麥芽蘇格蘭威士忌於2021 年國際烈酒挑戰賽 (International Spirits Challenge) 榮獲金牌，先進波本桶熟成16年再入Oloroso雪莉桶熟成半年的細緻優雅風味，詮釋了蜜糖與辛辣的完美平衡。整體透露蜂蜜、柑橘與丁香的香氛，加上雪莉桶帶來黑棗、烏梅與水果蛋糕的香甜，最後更能感受到些微黑巧克力苦味的層次。酒體呈現暗琥珀色，正是冷冬夜晚客廳角落裡的最佳心靈慰藉。
Background
Aberfeldy is the only distillery built by the Dewar family. Initially intended as an ingredient for their Blended Scotch, our team of 12 operators craft a Single Malt with fruity and honeyed aromas.
Aberfeldy is known as The Golden Dram due to the alluvial gold that is rumoured to lie in our water source, the Pitilie Burn. We use 7.5 tons of lightly malted barley per batch and allow a gentle fermentation over 70 hours to give plenty of time for sweet, fruity flavour development. Our tall stills are heated slowly for plenty of copper contact to retain these bright flavours.
Aberfeldy is usually matured in a range of cask types giving complexity. This whisky also has approachable orange and honey flavours when young and over time subtle floral and spiced aromas can emerge. Look out for interesting finishes such as Madeira or red wine that complement our house style perfectly.

Music to enjoy:
Careless Whisper - George Michael arranged by Solo acoustic guitarist - Kent Nishimura
After the first released of the song by George Michael in 1984 more than 40 years ago, young Acoustic guitar virtuoso - Kent Nishimura brings the performance to the next caliber, the song was arranged in solo acoustic guitar, showing purity, precision, emotion and unrivaled techniques. Like the Aberfeldy 16, the pure honey like alluring prelude, the nostalgic emotion when nosing the golden dram, the unforgettable fullness, touch of Oloroso cask gives depth and impeccable balance on the finish, which arouse the golden memories from the 80s, which should be a decent partner when listening. We hope you enjoy it! May the nice dram moments with you always! Slainte!
