What Makes Aberfeldy Whisky Special?
Aberfeldy’s distinct character comes from its balanced maturation process and the purity of its ingredients. Unlike heavier peated whiskies, Aberfeldy offers a gentle yet complex profile with bright notes of honey, citrus, and a subtle spice. The use of pure spring water flowing from nearby Birkenbush Springs imparts a fresh, clean quality. Its rich golden color and smooth mouthfeel appeal to those who appreciate elegance combined with depth. Aberfeldy’s tradition of blending and aging, especially in a mix of American oak and sherry casks, creates a versatile whisky that excels both as a sipping dram and a base for classic cocktails.
