The inaugural single malt from Aberargie Distillery marks a confident and considered debut from this rising Perthshire producer. A genuine barley-to-bottle release, crafted from 52% Golden Promise and 48% Laureate barley grown in the distillery’s own fields, it reflects a meticulous commitment to provenance and process. Distilled on site since 2017 and guided by the respected Morrison family, whose five generations of whisky expertise underpin the project, this first expression sets a clear benchmark for the house style. Matured in an exact 50:50 marriage of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, the whisky balances bright orchard fruit and vanilla sweetness with gentle spice and rounded dried fruit depth. The result is poised and assured, delivering clarity of character with a layered finish. A significant first chapter from a distillery with heritage in its DNA and ambition in its sights.
