Of the character of the malt, Stephanie Macleod, master blender at Dewar's and master maltmaster at Aberfeldy, once said that "it all goes back to the politics of the new brewing spirit," which comes out of the copper stills as a clear liquid. before seeing wood, and the “aroma of grass, fruits and grains” that permeates the distillery.
“When you have a glass of Aberfeldy, you are almost transported there.”
But the combination of “a good new spirit”, good casks and the right amount of time and rest in these casks” is what really makes Aberfeldy great.
