Description
Aberfeldy distillery was built in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons to provide whisky for their famous blends. Although the capacity of the distillery was doubled in 1973, it was still rarely seen as a single malt, appearing only occasionally in limited releases from Diageo while part of their stable. It was only in 1999 that a permanent single malt range was introduced. This 1969 vintage, 15-year-old Aberfeldy was independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Connoisseurs Choice series in 1984, prior to official distillery bottlings becoming common.
