The Aberfeldy distillery is located on the river Tay. John Dewar was the founder of this distillery in 1846, but his 2 sons made the company grow. As part of the series 'The Last Great Malts', these 12 years old was given a new look as one of the first whiskies, but he remains the same soft whisky he was always. Known as the Golden Dram, Aberfeldy Highland Single Malt is a classic fruity whisky with a honeyed richness and smooth approachable taste. 40% Vol. |
Built in 1812 by Captain William Fraser. Competition from local illicit distillers led Fraser to look for other markets and he therefore sold much of its whisky in the Lowlands. Brackla was the first distillery in Scotland to receive a Royal Warrant from King William IV in 1835 and became known as 'The King's Own Whisky'. In 2015, 3 Royal Brackla whiskies were introduced in the series 'The Last Great Malts'. This one first aged in Bourbon casks and finished in first-fill Oloroso casks before bottling. 40% Vol. |
Aultmore was founded in 1897 by Alexander Edward, one of Scotland’s well-known distillers from that era. For a long time, Aultmore was mostly used for blends such as Dewar’s. It was very popular with blenders, who rated it ‘Top Class’. Up until recently Aultmore wasn’t available much as single malt, but that changed in 2014. Now there’s a whole core range, including the entry-level Aultmore, 12 Y which is a great example of why this whisky is so popular with blenders — a beautiful malt! 46% Vol. |
