Aberfeldy Distillery, founded in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons, stands as a historic landmark in the charming town of Aberfeldy. Situated in the heart of Perthshire, Scotland, the distillery was founded to ensure a consistent supply of single malt whisky for Dewar's renowned blended Scotch whiskies. Drawing its water from the pure and soft Pitilie Burn, Aberfeldy has a distinct advantage in crafting its whiskies. Not only does it contribute to Dewar's blends, but it also boasts a range of single malt expressions. They achieve their renowned honeyed and fruity character through traditional production methods and the use of copper pot stills.
Aberfeldy 15 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Its first aged in a mix of refill and hogshead casks, before finishing in Bolgheri red wine casks from Tuscany, Italy. This secondary maturation imparts an additional layer of rich, complex flavours to the whisky.
Naturally coloured and non-chill filtered, this expression is a testament to Aberfeldy’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and quality maturation.
Official Tasting Notes
Indulge in the rich aromas of dark cherries and juicy plums, complemented by layers of dark chocolate infused with vanilla and a hint of nutmeg spice. The characteristic honey notes of Aberfeldy emerges, adding depth and warmth. A lingering touch of soft oak provides a refined finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
