The Exceptional Cask series is a collection of superlative bottlings from our Single Malt distillery of Aberfeldy specially chosen by our Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod. The Exceptional Cask series demonstrates how Macleod patiently lays the foundations of the entire single malts range, by meticulously nosing and assessing every sample within John Dewar's & Sons extensive cask inventory to monitor maturation and flavor development. A Whisky known as the 'Golden Dram' - the Aberfeldy distillery's water source is the famous Pitilie Burn - a river renowned for its water quality and famed for its rich deposits of gold. A longer fermentation time creates a smooth, complex and fruity whisky with honeyed sweetness, enjoyed by whiskey beginners and connoisseurs alike.
