Aberfeldy Distillery Celebrates 125 Years With Whisky Launch
Aberfeldy Distillery is celebrating 125 years of producing single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery has installed several programs to highlight its achievements including the launch of a 25-year-old expression. A special partnership with goldsmith Nigel O’Riely will craft special jewelry inspired by the brand’s 125-year trajectory.
To commemorate 125 years of whisky making, Aberfeldy Single Malt Scotch Whisky is releasing a limited edition 25-year-old expression collector’s pack. The distillery has also partnered with jeweler Nigel O’Reilly to create a collection of jewelry inspired by the brand’s history. The selections will be available alongside the 25-Year-Old whisky.
The History of Aberfeldy Single Malt Whisky
Aberfeldy has been handcrafting quality since 1898. This distillery was founded by John Alexander Dewar in 1898, one of the first ‘Whisky Barons’. They laid down the cornerstone for the Scotch whisky world as we know it today.
According to the press release, the limited edition 25-Year-Old commemorative pack celebrates the distillery’s rich heritage. The whisky was aged for over two decades in re-fill hogsheads and refill butts after which it was aged for over a year in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks.
In addition, the expression boasts notes of Highland honey, wild strawberries, and ripe peaches warmed by the sun. The limited edition whisky has an ABV of 46%, no chill filtering, and no coloring.
Malt Master at Aberfeldy Stephanie Macleod said:
“The walls of our charming distillery are steeped in history and heritage, standing testament to a tradition of whisky making stretching back over generations. Together with the distillery team led by Distillery Manager, John MacKenzie, and the team of talented Blenders,”
”We have the honor of balancing past, present, and future in every bottle of Aberfeldy to create the consistent premium quality and taste people enjoy around the world. Aberfeldy is truly at the heart of Scotland and, as soon as you arrive, it’s easy to see why John Alexander Dewar chose this area to build his first and only distillery.”
