This exclusive whisky, sourced from the renowned Speyside region, has been aged in a first-fill bourbon cask, ensuring a rich and distinctive flavour profile.<\/p>\n

Bottled at cask strength in September, this 11-year-old single malt offers a true taste of Scotland\u2019s whisky heritage. Only 216 bottles have been produced, making this a highly sought-after collector\u2019s item, which World Duty Free are proud to be able to offer their customers.<\/p>\n

Passengers travelling both domestically and internationally will be able to buy the whisky exclusively in the store from Wednesday, 2nd October retailing at \u00a3110 following the partnership between World Duty Free, Aberdeen International Airport and Chieftain\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Mark Beveridge, Managing Director at Aberdeen International Airport, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to introduce this exceptional whisky as part of our 90th-anniversary celebrations. This limited-edition release not only pays homage to Scotland\u2019s rich whisky tradition but also symbolises the enduring legacy of Aberdeen International Airport as a gateway to the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was incredibly fitting we were able to share this fantastic endeavour with our supporters in the Town House and we know many are now keen to get their hands on a bottle when they travel through the airport.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of World Duty Free, Paul Martin, Category Manager for Liquor in the UK continues, \u201cWithin our World Duty Free stores, we are constantly looking for new, exclusive and exciting liquor products to offer our customers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are therefore proud to partner with Chieftain\u2019s and bring this exquisite whisky exclusively to our Aberdeen customers, in celebration of Aberdeen International Airport\u2019s 90th anniversary.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The civic reception at the Town House underscored the strong partnerships and community ties that have been integral to the airport’s success over the past 90 years. The evening was a fitting tribute to the airport\u2019s past achievements and a look towards future success for the region.<\/p>\n
