Aberfeldy Distillery

Aberfeldy Distillery is located in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland, near the town of Aberfeldy on the banks of the River Tay. Founded in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons, the distillery is a major producer of single malt whisky that is also used in Dewar's well-known blends.

A specific feature of Aberfeldy is the use of water from the Pitilie Burn, a spring known for its purity and richness in minerals. This contributes to the soft and honeyed character of the whisky. Aberfeldy uses traditional copper pot stills and long fermentation times, creating a rich and complex flavour profile.

Aberfeldy whisky is known for its smooth and accessible flavour, with notes of honey, vanilla, spices and a hint of citrus. The whisky is mainly matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, which provides a nice balance and depth. The combination of historic traditions, high-quality ingredients and craftsmanship makes Aberfeldy a beloved name among whisky lovers worldwide.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a prestigious and exclusive whisky club, founded in 1983 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The SMWS is known for its unique approach to selecting and bottling single cask whiskies, available exclusively to members. It is one of the most respected names in the whisky world worldwide for the high quality and special character of their bottlings.

Instead of listing the name of the distillery on the label, the SMWS uses a unique numbering system for their bottlings. The first number refers to the distillery and the second number to the specific cask bottled. This system adds to the mystique and exclusivity of the bottlings.
