History[edit | edit source]
The Aberfeldy Distillery was founded in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons Ltd., a well-known whisky blending and bottling company. The distillery was built in the picturesque town of Aberfeldy, situated in the heart of Scotland's whisky-producing region.
Production[edit | edit source]
Aberfeldy Distillery follows traditional methods of whisky production, ensuring the highest quality of their single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery sources its water from the Pitilie Burn, which is known for its pure and soft water, ideal for whisky production.
The distillery uses copper pot stills for distillation, which are known to impart unique flavors and character to the whisky. The whisky is then aged in oak casks, allowing it to develop its distinct flavor profile over time.
