Aberfeldy 15 years – The limited-edition whisky was first matured in a combination of refill casks and then finished for six months in ex-Cadillac Wine Casks, sourced from a 40-hectare estate using sustainable agriculture. Located in the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, Gironde, just south of Bordeaux, the Cadillac AOC’s terroir produces sweet wines that are steeped in character and extremely aromatic, thanks to its favourable oceanic climate, lime-rich, gravelly soils and a sunny, south-facing aspect, and steep slopes.

The Dewar family’s pursuit of whisky perfection continues to this day. And we still produce whisky in a way that they would recognise instantly. In common with most Scotch whisky distilleries, malted Scottish barley to make the whisky is brought to sit. With the old Malting House now home to our beautiful Whisky Lounge and Cafe. Due to vastly increased demand, we now mature our spirit elsewhere in Scotland. This meaning our former filling station and warehouse have escaped modernisation and serve as a highly atmospheric tour area and home to our Cask Tasting. This is the ideal backdrop to explain how Dewar’s premium blends are ‘double-aged’. With a secondary resting in oak barrels once the blend is created. The costly process gives an extra smoothness to the final whisky. The creation of the distinctive Aberfeldy spirit all takes place onsite. With our extra long fermentation in larch washbacks, and distillation in our tall pot stills overlooking the rolling Perthshire hills. These processes create the honeyed-richness for which Aberfeldy whisky is renowned. Now popular in its own right as a single malt, Aberfeldy still makes up the heart of the Dewar’s blend.
