The History of Aberfeldy – A Highland Heritage Since 1898

Where Aberfeldy Whisky Is Created – The Distillery in Aberfeldy

The Aberfeldy Distillery lies nestled in a green valley in the Central Highlands of Scotland, in the village of Aberfeldy of the same name. In the immediate vicinity is the historic birthplace of the Dewar family, who established the spirit as the heart of the world-famous blended whiskies. 

The Unique Water Source – The “Golden Water” of the Pitilie Burn

The quality of the water is a central component of Aberfeldy’s character. The distillery draws its water from the Pitilie Burn, a stream of exceptional purity that is known for its gold-bearing deposits and has earned Aberfeldy the nickname “Golden Dram”. 

The Philosophy of Aberfeldy – Craftsmanship, Flavour and Tradition

At Aberfeldy, everything revolves around the classic art of whisky production: long fermentation, gentle distillation in alembic copper pot stills, and maturation in selected oak casks. This combination creates the unmistakable, honey-rich flavour that has made Aberfeldy Single Malt so popular worldwide. 

Sustainability at Aberfeldy – Responsibility for Nature and the Environment

Aberfeldy is actively committed to sustainability and environmental protection. Since 2015, the distillery has significantly reduced its CO₂ footprint and continuously works to optimize its processes. Returning cooling water to natural sources and avoiding single-use plastic packaging are just some examples of these efforts. 

The Tradition of Production – From Barley to Single Malt

Aberfeldy uses traditional production methods that have been maintained for decades:

1. Selection of the finest Scottish barley
2. Longer fermentation times for more flavour compounds
3. Distillation in alembic copper pot stills
4. Maturation in carefully selected oak casks, including bourbon and sherry casks
5. Careful selection and bottling by the Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod
