Water : | Rises from whinnstone flecked with iron and gold, and uns through pine, spunce, birch and bracken. Pitilie burn. |
Remark : | Mostly used within blends. The still is on the edge of the pretty town of the same name. (It still the 'heart malt' of their blend – the most popular Scotch in the U.S.A.) Aberfeldy Distillery was constructed somewhere around 1896-97, depending on your source, but opened for production in 1898. Aberfeldy is located in the rasberry-growing region of Scotland and overlooks the Tay Valley. The red squirrel on the label is inspired by the beautiful woodland setting that borders the distillery and is home to a colony of rare red squirrels. The distillery has been in continuous production since its inception, except for a short period during World War II. Almost all of its production now goes into United Distiller's blends, most notably Dewar's White Label. The single malt is relatively rare, usualy only becoming available in official bottlings in the Distillery. From The book : The Scottish Collection / Classic Malts by Carol P. Shaw From the Whisky pilot by Uniqum Systems : From The book : The Malt Whisky File by Robin Tucek and John Lamond – The connoisseur's guide to malt whiskies and their distilleries.
