Distillery/Bottler: Murray McDavid, founded in 1996, is known for its unconventional cask maturation. The Aberfeldy Distillery, established in 1898 by the Dewar brothers, uses water from the Pitilie Burn for production. The process includes slow distillation and long fermentation, contributing to the complexity of the whisky. The Aberfeldy 2002/2026 is a product of this tradition and benefits from maturation in a traditional Oloroso sherry butt.
