About

Aberfeldy is a smaller production house in the Highlands, along the River Tay. It was actually founded by John Dewer himself in 1896.

Even though Dewers is a large producer and a subsidiary of Bacardi, Little Aberfeldy occupies a special spot in their history. In fact, of all the locations possible, Dewers selected Aberfeldy, as the location of their museum, and their “World of Whisky” attraction. That says a lot.

They keep things simple at Aberfeldy. All of their grain is locally grown, and they use only native Scottish yeasts. The water flows from a stream passing by the distillery—Pitilie Burn. All of their Whisky is aged in ex-Bourbon casks on site.

Before 1999, nearly all of their production went into blends. But that year they issued their first single malt; a 12YO. Building upon that success, additional agings and specialty releases are now available.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavours that you'll taste in Aberfeldy Scotch. It's based on all Aberfeldy drinks in our large database and gives you a chance to taste Aberfeldy before actually tasting it.

We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.
