64 FESTIVE GIFT GUIDE

ABER FALLS SINGLE MALT WELSH WHISKY

Aber Falls Distillery , located on the foothills of Snowdonia in the village of Abergwyngregyn , produces a range of spirits , including flavoured gins and whiskies ; with its single malt whisky being the first to be distilled in North Wales for more than 100 years .

Made using 100 % Welsh malted barley , Aber Falls curates its award-winning Single Malt Welsh Whisky using rock-filtered water taken from the Aber Falls Waterfall and is made by a team of local people . Aber Falls has also now officially achieved the Welsh PGI status too , recognising the liquid nationally and internationally as being a quality product with a distinct style .

The exceptional Aber Falls Single Malt whisky is distilled in a mix of copper pot and stainless-steel stills and includes a mix of Oloroso sherry casks , PX sherry casks , Bourbon casks and Virgin Oak casks for a totally unique flavour . Deep amber gold in colour , this Single Malt gives an aroma of sweet fruits with a hint of clove and delivers a rich and full-bodied palate , with sweet sherry notes , dark chocolate and espresso . It stimulates a long and lingering finish of dried fruit and subtle spice .

Carole Jones , General Manager at Aber Falls Whisky Distillery , said : “ We ’ re a distillery that proudly produces 100 % Welsh whisky , capturing the Welsh craft and heritage in every bottle . As a result , our products are extremely sustainable , enabling us to benefit Wales at every stage of production , including returning any waste ingredients to local farms for use as fertiliser or cattle feed .”

While the brand is proudly routed in its local Welsh heritage , Aber Falls whisky is stocked in major retailers across the UK ; including Tesco from £ 27.50 and Sainsbury ’ s from £ 33 ( down to £ 22 with a Nectar card ) for the 70cl expression , as well as available online at www . aberfallsdistillery . com .

The 2021 release of the Single Malt Welsh Whisky is bottled at 40 % ABV .
