Perthshire-based Aberargie Distillery has unveiled its inaugural single malt Scotch Whisky.
The dram marks the Morrison family’s long-awaited return to distilling after more than three decades and introduces a barley-to-bottle release crafted entirely on its family-owned farm.
With the first casks filled in 2017 it’s a significant milestone for one of Scotland’s longest-established whisky dynasties.
Aberargie’s packaging and visual identity have been developed in partnership with Kingdom & Sparrow, drawing inspiration from the distillery’s location, its pot stills, and its modus operandi.
Produced in collaboration with Verallia UK, the bottle reflects the family’s approach to Scotch whisky.
A defining horizon line runs across the label and carton in rich verdant green, with gold accents that evoke the surrounding farmland and a strong sense of place.
The label also pays tribute to Aberargie’s stillhouse, placing the distillery at the centre of the brand story.
Distilled using barley grown on their own 300-acre farm, the whisky is made with a mash bill of 52% Golden Promise and 48% Laureate barley grown on family farms, then matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon and first-fill sherry casks.
Niel Hendriksz, Managing Director of Aberargie Distillery
Bottled at 48.2% ABV, it is non-chill-filtered and presented without added colour. Tasting notes highlight baked apple and golden pastry, followed by sultanas and prunes, with a lingering herbal finish.
‘Our first casks were laid down in 2017, and we’ve been patiently waiting for our whisky to be ready,’ Niel Hendriksz, Managing Director of Aberargie Distillery, said.
‘After nearly a decade, the moment feels right to share Aberargie Single Malt Inaugural with the world.
‘It’s a true barley-to-bottle single malt that honours the Morrison family’s distilling heritage while setting a clear direction for the future.’
Aberargie Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Inaugural release will be available from specialist whisky retailers from 3 March 2026 at the RRP of £65.
