Aberfeldy Scotch Whisky Distillery History  
Aberfeldy, on the edge of Highland Perthshire, Lies a distillery steeped in tradition, yet only known to connoisseurs and a few fortunate travellers.

Construction of the Aberfeldy distillery was started in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons Ltd and went into production in 1898

Established on the south bank of the river Tay, approximately 1 mile east, along the A827 from the town of Aberfeldy. The distillery lies in a beautiful setting, with woodland close by, housing a rare colony of red squirrels, hence the red Squirrel on the label.

The distillery was closed during the 1917-19 downturn and was subsequently purchased by DCL in 1925 then transferred to Scottish Malt Distillers in 1930.

The distillery was reconstructed with an extra pair of stills in 1972.

Initially only available as a single malt in Diageo’s Flora & Fauna Range during the early 1990s

In 1998 John Dewar & Sons Ltd and Aberfeldy distillery was purchased by Barcardi Ltd. From Diageo PLC The substantial redundant maltings building was converted into a whisky visitor centre with an emphasis on the history of the firm of Dewar’s rather than the process of distilling.

The visitor centre is designed with the main exhibition area set as a number of 'scenes' from Dewar's history and looks forward to the future of the industry. There is an audio-visual theatre, restaurant area and a 'Nosing & Tasting Bar' where visitors can taste their own blend.

In 1999 The Aberfeldy 12 year old Single Malt whisky is launched as the finest creation of the entrepreneurial Dewar Brothers. Reserved for years as the heart of Dewar’s White label,

Aberfeldy combines the fresh spring water of the Pitile Burn with the skill of generations of craftsmen to produce an out standing single malt whisky renowned for its heather honey softness and full body.
