Aberargie, Scotland - It's set to be a special St Andrew’s Day (Sunday, 30th November) for one of Scotland’s oldest whisky families, as they celebrate 100 days to go until the launch of Aberargie Distillery's Inaugural Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The highly anticipated eponymous debut will arrive in March 2026. Whisky lovers can sign up for early access.
Honouring five generations of tradition and whisky making, the state-of-the-art Aberargie Distillery has released a behind the scenes look at the full in-house control; from farm-grown barley, distilling, warehousing, blending right down to the bottling, as it prepares to unveil its whisky after almost a decade of patience next year.
Located seven miles south of Perth, Aberargie Distillery was established in 2017 on the Morrison family’s 300-acre farm. The estate is one of the few distilleries in Scotland to operate a barley-to-bottle philosophy, using 100% farm-grown heritage barley grown on the farm where the distillery has been built on.
This approach allows Aberargie to oversee the quality of raw materials from the outset. All barley varieties are grown to the family’s own standards, with full provenance, terroir and traceability embedded across the seed to spirit process.
Central to the distillery’s production philosophy is Golden Promise, the heritage barley variety once favoured by leading Scotch producers throughout the 1960s and 70s. Although lower yielding than modern strains, Golden Promise is grown at Aberargie for its flavour benefits, producing a full-bodied, malty new make spirit with notable oiliness and depth.
