Dewar’s
Aberfeldy Distillery has opened a new
experience inviting visitors to delve
into the flavour of their Dewar's
Blended Scotch whisky and the
craftsmanship behind their Aberfeldy
Highland Single Malt.
Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery has
launched a new experience, inviting
visitors to explore the flavours of the
world's most awarded Blended Scotch
whisky and the exceptional craftsmanship
of its Aberfeldy Highland Single Malt.
This immersive journey allows guests
from around the world to delve into the
art of whisky making, featuring the
renowned double ageing process of
Dewar's Blended Scotch and the rich
history of Aberfeldy Single Malt Scotch
whisky.
The new experience is housed in the
original 1898 warehouse buildings at the
historic Charles Doig-designed
distillery, nestled in the heart of the
Perthshire Highlands. This significant
investment enhances the visitor
experience with a new Warehouse
Experience tour.
Following a tour of the on-site archive
museum and production stages, the
Warehouse Experience begins in the Old
Filling Store, where guests learn about
the casking and maturation of Aberfeldy
Single Malt. The tour then moves to the
Blenders Bothy, where visitors can
understand the four-stage ageing process
of the Dewar's Double Double range.
Here, guests meet an avatar of Stephanie
Macleod, the six-time International
Whisky Competition Master Blender of the
Year, brought to life through advanced
projection technology.
Visitors are then invited to discover
their Dewar's persona through a
multi-sensory flavour quiz, culminating
in a personalised tasting of Dewar's
that matches their taste profile in the
brand-new Tasting Rooms. This tasting
includes a sample of Aberfeldy 12 Year
Old Single Malt Scotch whisky.
Stephanie Macleod, Dewar's Master
Blender and Malt Master, commented:
"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."
Aberfeldy is the spiritual home of the
Dewar's brand, with Dewar’s Aberfeldy
Distillery being the only distillery
built by the Dewar brothers. It has been
the production site for Aberfeldy
Highland Scotch Malt whisky for over 125
years.
Tickets for the Dewar’s Aberfeldy
Experience, which includes the new
Warehouse Experience, are priced at
