Product Details

Code: WAHSM16

The distillery is located where Perthshire's highest mountain, deepest loch, and longest glen meet, and is historically and geographically the 'Heart of Scotland'. Aberfeldy Distillery, founded by the John Dewar & Sons Ltd., was built in 1896 and opened in 1898. Aberfeldy was constructed at the beginning of the Dewar's expansion just as their brand was becoming reputable worldwide. John A. Dewar, the son of founder John Dewar Sr., realized that to meet the high demands placed on them to supply premium Scotch whisky, they needed to be able to guarantee a single malt whisky of superior quality, and a lot of it. Aberfeldy proved to be a great success for the company and the brand.

Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, this has lovely balance between sweetness and spiciness.

Raisins and cinnamon at first on the nose, before moving on to butterscotch, caramel, and dried apple. A touch of floral malt, too. Well-rounded and mellow on the palate, more apple at first, along with poached pear in dark chocolate sauce, soon joined by clementine segments and honey on toast.
