Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery has opened a new visitor experience called the Warehouse Experience, at its 1898 warehouse buildings at the Charles Doig-designed distillery in Aberfeldy. The town is the spiritual home of the Dewar’s brand, with Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery being the only distillery built by the Dewar brothers and the site of production for Aberdeldy Highland Scotch Malt whisky for over 125 years.
Taking in the double ageing process of Dewar’s Blended Scotch and the history of Aberlady Single Malt Scotch whisky, it includes a multi-sensory flavour quiz culminating in a personalised tasting of Dewar’s that matches their taste profile in the new Tasting Rooms, alongside a tasting of Aberfeldy’s 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch whisky.
Stephanie Macleod, DEWAR’S Master Blender and Malt Master, says, “Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery stands as a testament to the Dewar family’s rich legacy in whisky making. Its location, blessed by the pure waters of the Pitilie Burn, not only provides a pristine water source for our Aberfeldy Distillery but also connects us to the timeless traditions and craftsmanship of our forebears.
“With guests now able to visit our iconic warehouses, built in 1898, they will now gain a deeper understanding of the final steps that our new-make spirit takes to become the premium, quality whiskies that go on to be enjoyed around the world.”
