The beautiful Aberfeldy Distillery was opened in 1898 by John Dewar and Sons. It sits on the banks of the River Tay, it is also situated by the local railway line which provided a door-to-door link to other areas of the UK. The water source is the local Pitillie Burn and the distillery produces around 2,100,000 litres of whisky every year. The spirit made at this distillery is a major contributor to the very popular Dewars blended whiskies.Robert Burns wrote a famous poem about Aberfeldy called ‘The Banks of Aberfeldy’ and as someone who appreciated a wee dram he would have sampled the wonderful whisky from this distillery.
Stephanie Macleod, the esteemed Master Blender for Dewar’s and Aberfeldy, is a recognised authority in both whisky and wine. In the 2022 edition, she explores the synergistic relationship between these spirits, finishing Aberfeldy in premium Bolgheri Tuscan red wine casks. This innovative approach imparts robust dark fruit flavours, intense oak notes, and a complex interplay of cherry frangipane and vanilla spice. Macleod’s expert guidance ensures the malt’s core character remains intact, creating a harmonious and balanced dram. A limited release from Aberfeldy, the Aberfeldy 18 Years Old Bolgheri Tuscan Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky was finished in Tuscan red wine casks sourced from Bolgheri, Italy. The casks offer dark cherry, blackberry and oaky notes that hold up well against the mature flavours of Aberfeldy’s older whisky, and lend complexity to their honeyed, fruity style.
