Strong Yorkshire mixture nose, very strong taste, some creaminess, nice quality whisky with strong flavours.

7 to 8 out of 10

Is Aberfeldy the highest distillery in Scotland or have I got that wrong as usual. I know we did some distilleries years ago centred around Blair Athol disitllery. I believe if I'm right that Aberfeldy was some 25 miles north of it, we also had Edradour and Glenturret (which is now on my doorstep) on the itinery. I think this is an excellent wee trip as it's not as far as Speyside and you get a good mixture of malts.

Edradour is a beautiful distillery, I can't recall much of Aberfeldy except that I liked the whisky, can't remember if i drank it in a hut though Very Happy

Close! It's another in your neck of the woods:

Dalwhinnie
A visit to Dalwhinnie, at 1,073 feet above sea level the highest distillery in the land, is an opportunity to sample the ‘Gentle Spirit’ of the glen.

Here you can see the distillers at work, harnessing the snow fed waters of the Allt an t’ Sluic, fresh from their journey through moorland heather, producing a full-bodied malt with a surprisingly delicate taste. And as you savour your complimentary dram of Dalwhinnie, the Highland representative of the ‘classic malts’ range, you can also enjoy a panorama unchanged since the drovers of old paused to enjoy the view and the local malt.

You’ll find the doors of the distillery in the mountains open to visitors all year round with restricted hours in the snowy depths of the highland winter.

atholl arms hotel eh! stayed their a few times, and the moulin, still brewing the beer. happy days.
of course with dalwhinnie being the highest it gets a lot of snow, i can think of worse places to get snowed in.
back to aberfeldy. well! it wasnt exactly a hut it was stone built but it also passed for the office, look what they have now, fantastic along with the malt. sorry i live in england, roll on the holiday when i can get back to my spiritual home Laughing

Hi Talisker,

Nice pic of the brewery here but unfortunately you need to go to M for Moulin brewery and hotel.

I think anyone that's into whisky sees Scotland as their spiritual home, some just pray at the alter more than others Laughing

You'll have to give us a tasting note on the beer in the real ale section.

Have you ever tried Banana Bread Beer? tongue8
