Aberfeldy
Aberfeldy was built by John Dewar & Sons in 1896 and opened two years later in 1898. It is located near the town of Kenmore alongside the banks of the River Tay. It draws it water from the 'Pittiely Burn' which merges with the Well Burn a few miles south of the distillery. Aberfeldy is the largest component malt of Dewars range of blends, but is also now increasingly well known as a single malt in its own right. It has been included in Barcardi's (the distillery's current owner) 'Last Great Malts' lineup of whiskies and is commonly known as 'the Golden Dram' .

G&M’s Connoisseur’s Choice was introduced in the late 1960’s and throughout the last 50 years has offered whisky enthusiasts a regular, dependable range of single malt whiskies from a staggering number of different distilleries. The newly relaunched Connoisseur’s Choice range comes not only in smart, redesigned bottles, but also with plenty of pertinent information on label. Travel back in time to the 1970s and 80s and the old style map labels of the Connoisseur’s Choice series presented customers with a lot less detail on what they were consuming. No precise distillation or bottling dates, no indication on the type of cask or its number. Likewise, many bottlings were delivered at 40% as opposed to the higher strength of today’s range.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company
Posted 08 December 2018
Door number 7 in the 2018 Boutique-y Advent calendar delivers up the bottlers second batch of Aberfeldy – rather the long time coming seeing as the 1st was released around the time the company was launched back in 2013. Five years on this new Boutique-y bottling of the ‘golden dram’ comes adorned with a 21 year old age statement – but still features a cartoon Ian Buxton (who lives close to the distillery) panning for gold in the Pitlie Burn – Aberfeldy’s water source.
