Aberfeldy distillery
Aberfeldy Distillery is a distillery in Scotland that distills Aberfeldy single malt Scotch Whisky.
History
Aberfeldy Distillery was founded by the John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896, and opened in 1898. The distillery is located on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy, on the southern bank of the upper Tay.
The demand for barley as a basic foodstuff during World War I led to the distillery being closed from 1917 to 1919. The Second World War also caused barley supplies to be cut, and the distillery was again forced to shut down for some of this period. Supply to final markets was kept up by reducing the period whisky was laid up from 7 years to 3.
In 1972 the distillery was enlarged, and the old stills were replaced by four new steam heated stills. In 1999, an Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt brand was introduced. In 2000, the Earl of Elgin opened "Dewar's World of Whisky" at the Aberfeldy Distillery: this is a centre for marketing the products and educating the public about the process of distillation and history of the Dewar's brand.
Aberfeldy (band)
Aberfeldy are a band formed by the singer-songwriter Riley Briggs in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2002. The band is named after the Scottish town where Riley's granddad had a caravan.
History
Singer/guitarist Riley Briggs formed Aberfeldy between 2002 and 2003, meeting the band in various locations in Edinburgh - Sarah and Ian through The Royal Oak bar, Ken through an advert for a punk band and Ruth through working as a barmaid in The Bongo Club. Riley's early songs, some of which were included on Young Forever, were written as a result of the breakup with his partner.
Albums
Young Forever
In 2003, Aberfeldy recorded fourteen songs with producer Jim Sutherland at his studio above Edinburgh's Bongo Club, using only one microphone and no overdubbing. The resulting tracks were licensed to Rough Trade Records and released in 2004 as the album Young Forever. The single "Heliopolis by Night" was NME's single of the week on release.
The follow-up single "Love is an Arrow" was featured by Lorraine Kelly on GMTV's Kelly Plays Pop section. The record sold out in less than a week, due to not enough copies being pressed. The single reached no. 60 in the UK charts. The animated video, by Chris Waitt, was nominated for an MTVU Woodie award for best animated video, but lost out to the Gorillaz.

Young Forever
by: AberfeldyCome on people, what's the matter with you?
The few got many and the many few.
Keep on acting in the way that we do,
We won't have anything left to lose.
La la la la
La la la la
Come on baby, why we taking so long?
There's so many things that could still go wrong.
You were hungry and nobody cared,
But when I'm with you baby I'm a millionaire...
And we'll be Young Forever
Glued to your side
We'll be together,
And never... be denied
Young Forever... yeah
Be glued to your side
We'll be forever,
