JUST OUTSIDE THE TOWN of ABERFELDY,General Wade's Bridge stands as a monument to a man so feted in his day that a special verse of the National Anthem was written in his honour.

Between 1725 and 1737 Wade ensured that English troops could move easily around the rebellious Highlands by building roads and bridges,of which the TAY BRIDGE at ABERFELDY is the most magnificent by far.He also raised a local militia that became the Black Watch Regiment and tried to win over Clan Chiefs whose loyalty lay with the King.

On the other side of ABERFELDY,the handsome distillery built in 1898 by ALEXANDER and TOMMY DEWAR,collects water as it tumbles down the PITTILLIE BURN on its way to the Tay.This water,which contains traces of gold,is there transformed into the mellow,honeyed golden dram that bears the town's name.There could be no more fitting monument to their father and our founder,JOHN DEWAR.


Nose: Raisins and cinnamon at first, before moving onto butterscotch, caramel and apple slice. A touch of floral malt, too.

Palate: Well rounded and mellow, but not lazy at all. More apple at first, soon joined by clementine segments and honey on toast. A spark of ginger.

Finish: Waxy peels and oak.
