About Dewars’ Aberfeldy Distillery
First planned in 1896 by the sons of John Dewar, Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery is the only Scotch whisky distillery build by the Dewar family. Dewar’s was already a highly successful brand of blended whisky, renowned for it’s quality, and the company needed more single malt whisky to use in its blend. In common with most Scotch whisky distilleries, malted Scottish barley to make the whisky is brought to site, with the old Malting House now home to our beautiful Whisky Lounge and Café. The ideal backdrop to explain how our Aberfeldy single malt is made, and how Dewar’s premium blends are ‘double-aged’, with a secondary resting in oak barrels once the blend is created.
The Dewar’s family pursuit of whisky perfection continues to this day, and we still produce whisky in a way that they would recognise instantly.
