Product Description

Just outside the town of Aberfeldy, General Wade’s Bridge stands as a monument to a man so feared in his day that a special verse of the National Anthem was written in his honor. Between 1725 and 1737 Wade ensured that English troops could move easily around the rebellious Highlands by building roads and bridges, of which the Tay Bridge at Aberfeldy is the most magnificent by far. He also raised a local militia that became the Black Watch Regiment and tried to win over Clan Chiefs whose loyalty lay with the king. On the other side of Aberfeldy, the handsome distillery built in 1898 by Alexander and Tommy Dewar, collects water as it tumbles down the Pitillie Burn on its way to the Tay. This water, which contains traces of gold, is there transformed into the mellow, honeyed golden dram that bears the town's name. There could be no more fitting monument to their father and our founder, John Dewar.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2023
Well-balanced aroma impressions on the nose showing fruit cake, cereal and brittle characteristics … A youthful style, balanced with silky impressions and wood indications ending on a finish with gentle spice.

Silver · 92 pts2026iwsc.net ↗
A rich perfume of caramel and banoffee pie leads into a super creamy and balanced palate where toffee, sherry, and red berries mingle with subtle vanilla and white chocolate.
Bronze2025iwsc.net ↗
Toffee and fresh oak aromas complemented by hints of macadamia nuts. The palate reveals dried fruits and subtle spiciness, leading to a warm, nutty finish.
Bronze2024iwsc.net ↗
Unique blend of orange liqueur, barley sugar and cherry. Soft spice on the finish.
Gold Outstanding2022iwsc.net ↗
Rich red fruit aromas define the nose - full of ripe plum, raspberry and redcurrant. Raisin, cinnamon and dark chocolate too. The palate reveals a fresh, herbal quality and toasty cereal flavours. Superb complexity of flavour and harmony throughout!
Gold2021iwsc.net ↗
Strong character with a good complexity. Rich and sophisticated on the nose. Fruit, citrus and sweet fudge on the palate with delicate oak spices. Oak on the finish. An excellent example of this style of malt.
Gold2020iwsc.net ↗
Zesty orange peel and ripe, fresh pear fill the nose before juicy barley sugar comes out to play. The palate has a sublime balance of soft, sweet tropical fruit framed by expertly judged oak. Focused, classy and quite simply, exquisite.
Gold Outstanding2019iwsc.net ↗
A beautiful, creamy, nutty and complex dram with so much going on. … A hint of leathery spice and linseed oil reigns the sweetness in before the epic and long finish.
Silver Outstanding2017iwsc.net ↗
Extremely fragrant floral notes … Opens up into a real treat of sweetness, like buttermilk pancakes and syrup, sugared short-crust pastry and oh so juicy and tart apples and citrus fruit as it finishes.
Gold2016iwsc.net ↗
Runny honey and sweet vanilla, there is a hint of oak and the balance of spirit us just right. … The finish shows off some, but not too many, spices.
Distiller · Blair Phillips
Floral apple blossom and a nice peppery spice circle like a whirlpool in the glass. … This is beautifully constructed single malt that flows instead of overpowers right through the finish.

Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2017
This limited-edition single malt scotch is scented with white flowers, fresh pear and honey. The palate is relatively drying and herbaceous, starting with cedar, oak and cigar wrapper, winding into earthy hints of sarsaparilla, chamomile tea and lemon peel.

Whisky Advocate · Gavin Smith · 2016
… the result is a pleasing if undemanding dram with a fresh, sweet, sherried nose, featuring orange, honey, and ginger. Smooth on the palate, with more oranges, marzipan, then milk chocolate and gentle spices.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Silver · 2026
Pear and oak lead the nose with elegant malt, strawberry, and orange marmalade hints. Smooth warming palate layers tropical citrus, peppery spices, walnut, toasted oak, buttery cream, and light florals.

On the nose, there’s a freshness mixed with a note of flour. Moving on to the palate, there are notes of caramel, honey and lemon which keep developing heading in to the lingering finish.
Moving on to the palate there are grape stalks and slices of peach, interspersed with some light grassiness and a finish that leaves a lot to the imagination. Overall a nice dram.
