Product Description
Sit back and unwind with Aberfeldy’s sweet, honeyed richness – it’s the ideal whisky to sip and savour. Aberfeldy 21 Year Old is a single malt whisky that’s famously known as ‘The Golden Dram’, for gold is an important part of the story. Aberfeldy’s founders built the distillery by the Pitilie Burn and it still draws its water from that same stream – one that is renowned for its pure, fresh quality, and for its deposits of alluvial gold. Aberfeldy’s Golden Dram is perfect for enjoyment all year round, whether served neat or on the rocks.
Aberfeldy 21 is a classic, fruity Malt with a distinctive character. The additional time spent in fine sherry and bourbon oak casks creates a luxurious richness of the Aberfeldy 21. It has a honey nose and creamy intensity. Aberfeldy Malt Whisky is a treasure hunt for heather honey, creamy macadamia nuts and chewy beeswax. It’s plush with orange, dried fruits, toasted coconut, silky oak and a trace of smoke. Production of Aberfeldy Scotch involves a uniquely long fermentation period and a two-part distillation process. Aberfeldy whisky continues to be distilled in traditional alembic copper pots stills that are crafted by Forsyths in Scotland. This process contributes to the distinctive characteristics of this Highland whisky. After distillation, the spirit then slumbers in the finest oak casks until it’s ready. The result is The Golden Dram – a luxuriously rich and complex whisky that’s accentuated by its honeyed richness.
The history of Aberfeldy Malt Whisky dates back to the late-19th century. Back then, before cars and motorways, a Puggy Engine (a small steam locomotive) delivered barley and oak to the Dewar brothers’ enterprise, before taking their precious golden liquid to market. The old train resides on site to this day, close to the distillery’s main buildings, which include the original pagoda tower – an iconic symbol of Scotch whisky architecture. In production since 1898 and still made using time-honoured techniques, The Golden Dram has been awarded over 150 gold medals in collective recognition of its outstanding quality.
