product Details

Aberfeldy 1978 Hand Filled 40 Year Old #5029

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 while part of what is now the Diageo stable. It was only in 1999 that it was marketed under its own single malt brand, when a 12 year old was released by new distillery owners, Bacardi.

This was a highly liited edition hand-filled bottling from the distillery shop. The first release of these 40-year-olds, this one was drawn from cask #5029.
