📍 Aberargie, Perthshire (near Perth), Scotland
Aberargie is a modern farm distillery with old-fashioned ambitions: from barley to bottle, all on their own farm — with a house style that aims for rich, fruity and subtly "waxy".
🕰️ History and Legacy
Aberargie was founded in 2017 by the Morrison family (Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers), marking their return to distilling after decades of focusing on bottling and branding. The distillery is located on their 300-acre family farm just outside Perth.
⚗️ Production and Philosophy
This is a true "barley-to-bottle" operation: locally sourced barley, distillation, and further processing all under one roof. The distillery promotes a style that is rich, fruity, and waxy, with the occasional peated (smoky) run for variety. Note: Not open to the public.
🍯 Flavor Profile and Style
Expect a full, rounded style with ripe stonefruit/orchard fruit, creamy graininess, and that signature waxy texture; some releases can also offer a subtle smokiness.
🌟 Special Bottlings
Aberargie Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Inaugural Release (the first official single malt release; launched 11 February 2026, available from 3 March 2026 at specialist retailers).
💎 Why this distillery is special
Aberargie combines the best of both worlds: the control and purity of a farmhouse distillery (own raw material, own pace) with a clear vision of a rich, fruity, waxy spirit — built for patient maturation and small, characterful releases.
