Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery has released Aberfeldy 24-Year-Old White Port Double Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky, a limited-edition expression finished in White Port casks. The whisky is available exclusively from the distillery and its online store from July 7, 2026, priced at £350 (US$450).
The bottling is the latest addition to the distillery’s Exceptional Cask Series. Only 252 bottles have been produced.
The release finishes Aberfeldy’s signature honeyed style in carefully selected White Port casks sourced from Portugal’s Douro Valley.
Quick whisky question
Single malt is everywhere, but what does it mean? We want to know what the word “single” means to you. Three quick questions, under a minute.
Aberfeldy has produced whisky in Highland Perthshire since 1898.
According to the official notes from the brand, the whisky offers flavors of ripe orchard fruits, honeyed apricots, citrus blossom and vanilla.
Stephanie Macleod, malt master at Aberfeldy, said the decision to use White Port casks was “a deliberate one.”

“Rich in notes of citrus peel, stone fruits and delicate nuttiness, the casks complement rather than overpower Aberfeldy’s signature honeyed style, creating an expression that feels bright, elegant and perfectly suited to the season.”
Macleod added that the team “wanted to capture something unexpected.”
“[It is] a whisky that retains the depth and refinement expected of a 24-Year-Old Single Malt while introducing a brighter, more expressive character through the White Port finish,” she said.
“It is a whisky that transports you, offering a taste of Portugal through the lens of Aberfeldy craftsmanship.”
The launch builds on the distillery’s ongoing exploration of wine cask finishing. Previous expressions in the range have used Tuscan red wine casks and Cadillac French wine casks to enhance the distillery’s honeyed character.
Aberfeldy is the spiritual home of the Dewar’s blended Scotch whisky brand, which is owned by Bacardi.
Visitors to the distillery can sample drams at the Distillery Bar throughout the summer for £13 (US$17).
The distillery reopened its visitor center following a multi-million-pound refurbishment in 2021, adding tasting experiences and a redesigned brand home.
