Crafted from a blend of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, matured for a minimum of 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels and hogshead casks, the Aberdeen Edition is bottled at 46.5% ABV, non-chill-filtered and with natural colour.
It offers a sweet and spiced finish, making it a standout choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
