Bottled at an approachable 40% ABV, it delivers a smooth, well-balanced profile, where notes of ripe raisins, candied citrus and gentle spice from the Madeira casks complement the distillery's trademark soft, elegant style. The result is a whisky that offers both complexity and exceptional drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAberfeldy Distillery \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAberfeldy distillery was opened in 1898 by the John Dewar and Sons company. It remained operational until 1917 when barley shortages forced it to close down. It reopened in 1919 and produced whisky intended for blends until the Second World War broke out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the war the distillery remained shut. After the war concluded and barley shortages were over, the demand for Aberfeldy whisky caused stock shortages. The whisky was laid for just 3 years as opposed to the usual 7 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot much happened at the distillery for a couple of decades until 1972 when it was enlarged and four steam-heated stills were installed. Production continued and in 1999 a 12 year old single malt was released. A year later, a visitor centre was opened to the public. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo this day, Aberfeldy single malt whisky is the main component of the Dewar's blended Scotch. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aberfeldy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57233693770103,"sku":"P5762S","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2403\/2357\/files\/Aberfeldy12MadeiraCask.jpg?v=1782662130","url":"https:\/\/jeffreyst.com\/products\/aberfeldy-12-year-old-madeira-cask-finish","provider":"Jeffrey st.
