Aberfeldy 12 Year Old 2016 Signatory Cask Strength is a rare single cask Highland single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Signatory Vintage for its acclaimed Cask Strength Collection. Distilled in 2016 and bottled in June 2026, this 12 year old Aberfeldy was matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt #5, yielding 649 individually numbered bottles at a powerful 59.2% ABV.

Aberfeldy is rarely encountered as an independent bottling, making this Signatory Vintage release an unusual opportunity to experience the distillery outside its familiar official range. Presented from a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt at cask strength, it offers a particularly rich interpretation of Aberfeldy's naturally honeyed and fruity Highland character. The first-fill Oloroso sherry cask brings considerable depth and richness to the spirit, layering dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and warming spice over Aberfeldy's characteristic heather honey, orchard fruit and sweet malt. At 59.2% ABV, the whisky retains impressive intensity and structure, making this a full-bodied sherried Aberfeldy with plenty of character.
