Has this just been copy typed from the back of a bottle? It sounds very much like advertising to me...

Think I may have messed up by trying to fix that by moving the edit history to another redirect but it still won't let the move go through. An Admin will have to sort it out but I support the move.

Oppose. It's the title of an establishment, therefore a proper name, therefore both parts should be capitalised. Why on earth have you been moving these articles? It's completely incorrect. Look at their websites - they are proper names! --

today, the area is also famous for its excellent salmon fishing and golf as well as for DEWAR'S® World of Whisky,at the ABERFELDY® distillery,
it seems pretty clear that the only proper names are Dewar's and Aberfeldy which are registered trademarks and the move is to the correct capitalisation.

Yes, these do but not anywhere near consistently or to a standard that would make us assume they are applying a proper name or even manual of style. for instance GlenScotia "Sold to Bloch Bros. and renamed Glen Scotia distillery.", Kilkerran "...built his own distillery called Glengyle." Springbank "Springbank distillery is found right in the middle of this delightful Argyll town..." and so on. This is combined with other inconsistent capitalisation across the websites - a larger RFC might be warranted somewhere central because no case is really clear. The Forth Bridge and Edinburgh Castle examples may make sense if enough secondary sources can be found to establish these as proper names.

Support: To me it seems reasonable for articles about distilleries officially named "Brandname Distillery" to be titled "Brandname distillery" on Wikipedia (regardless of what the company that owns the distillery says on its web site) – at least unless secondary reliable sources very consistently indicate otherwise. Here are two further pieces of evidence supporting this that are found in the article: 1) the phrase "the Aberfeldy Distillery", in which the inclusion of 'the' indicates that 'Distillery' is being used as a word rather than as part of a proper name (despite the capitalization), and 2) the phrase "Aberfeldy is the only distillery in Scotland ...", in which the omission of 'Distillery' indicates that it is not an indispensable part of the name. —
