History

Aberfeldy has a fascinating history and a range of exceptional whisky expressions. Here’s a glimpse into both:

Aberfeldy Distillery was founded in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons and began production in 1898. It was built near the birthplace of John Dewar, the founder of the Dewar’s brand. The distillery has faced challenges, including closures during World Wars due to barley shortages. In 1972, it underwent significant expansion, doubling its capacity. Today, Aberfeldy is owned by Bacardi-Martini and continues to produce its signature honeyed single malts.
