The Return of Golden Promise

At the heart of Aberargie’s flavour is Golden Promise, a heritage barley variety once beloved by leading Scotch distillers in the 1960s and 70s. While lower yielding than modern varieties, it offers undeniable flavour benefits—producing a full-bodied, malty spirit with richness, oiliness and depth.

A Moment Years in the Making

Graeme Mackeddie, Head of Distilling, shares the excitement building inside the distillery:

“Since filling our first casks in 2017, we’ve been patiently waiting for the moment Aberargie would be ready to share with the world. With 100 days to go, there’s a real sense of anticipation. This inaugural release is flavour-first—shaped by heritage barley, natural depth and a deep sense of place.”

Managing Director Niel Hendriksz adds:

“This milestone is deeply meaningful. Every part of this whisky has been grown, distilled and matured on our land—a true homecoming for the Morrison family. We’re incredibly proud of what our team has created.”

A Return to Distilling on Family Ground

The upcoming launch marks the Morrison family’s return to distilling on their own land for the first time since 1994, following the sale of Morrison Bowmore. Today, Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers is home to Old Perth, Mac-Talla and Bruadar—but Aberargie is set to become the company’s flagship.
