Aberfeldy: The Golden Drop from the Highlands

Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, Aberfeldy Distillery stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of whisky-making. Founded by the Dewar family in 1896, this distillery has become synonymous with producing a single malt that is both classic and contemporary.

A Heritage of Quality

The story of Aberfeldy is intrinsically linked to the Dewar family. John Dewar, the founder of the eponymous whisky brand, hailed from a nearby croft. His entrepreneurial spirit and passion for quality led to the establishment of a distillery that would become a cornerstone of the family’s legacy.

Aberfeldy’s strategic location was a key factor in its success. The distillery sits on the banks of the Pitilie Burn, a pristine water source renowned for its purity and softness. This exceptional water, combined with the use of locally sourced barley, forms the foundation of Aberfeldy’s distinctive character.

The distillery itself is a marvel of Victorian architecture. Designed by the renowned distillery architect Charles Doig, the pagoda-roofed building is a striking landmark in the Aberfeldy landscape. Inside, the layout is efficient and functional, reflecting the Dewar family’s commitment to producing whisky of the highest quality.

The Aberfeldy Spirit

What sets Aberfeldy apart is its harmonious balance of flavors. The distillery’s location in the Highlands lends the whisky a certain robustness, with notes of honey, heather, and orchard fruit. However, the influence of the Pitilie Burn’s soft water creates a delicate sweetness that tempers the spirit’s character.

Aberfeldy’s production process is a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. The distillery employs copper pot stills, which impart a rich, complex flavor to the spirit. The washbacks are made from stainless steel, ensuring consistent fermentation. And while Aberfeldy adheres to the traditional methods of whisky-making, the distillery is also at the forefront of sustainability initiatives.

The Essence of Aberfeldy

Aberfeldy 12 Years Old is the distillery’s flagship expression. It is a classic Highland malt, with a rich, golden color and an inviting aroma of honey, vanilla, and orchard fruit. The palate is smooth and creamy, with flavors of ripe pear, apple, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of honey and oak.

Beyond the 12 Year Old, Aberfeldy offers a range of expressions to cater to different tastes. The Aberfeldy 16 Years Old is a more complex and sophisticated whisky, with notes of dark chocolate, ginger, and dried fruit. The Aberfeldy 21 Years Old is a rare and exceptional malt, showcasing the distillery’s ability to create whiskies of extraordinary depth and character.

Aberfeldy also produces a number of limited edition and single cask releases, which offer whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to explore the full range of the distillery’s capabilities.

A Legacy That Endures

Aberfeldy Distillery has come a long way since its foundation in 1896. From its humble beginnings as a source of malt whisky for the Dewar blend, it has evolved into a globally recognized single malt brand. The distillery’s commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation has ensured its enduring success.

Today, Aberfeldy stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when passion, craftsmanship, and natural resources come together. As the world continues to appreciate the complexities and nuances of whisky, Aberfeldy is poised to play an even greater role in shaping the future of this beloved spirit.
