THE ABERFELDY DISTILLERY
The walls of our charming distillery are steeped in history and heritage. Since 1898, Aberfeldy has stood as testament to a tradition of whisky making stretching back over generations.Our founder, John Alexander Dewar, chose to build his first and only distillery here, a stone’s throw from his father’s humble beginnings, strengthening the foundations of the Dewar family legacy.

John Alexander Dewar
John’s ambition was to craft a gold standard Single Malt, “with no expense spared”. Making use of “all the latest advancements” ‘… he ensured the distillery was planned with a care to the smallest detail so it would produce a far superior Highland malt. With its smooth, rich character, Aberfeldy helped bring the Highland style into the 20th century.You can call him an ‘entrepreneur’, but he was considerably more than that – he was a visionary, financially astute and philanthropic man of action. His hard work and efforts led him to become the first of the so-called ‘Whisky Barons’, a group of men who laid down the cornerstone of the Scotch Whisky world as we know it today.

Gold Standard Single Malt
Aberfeldy has been quietly crafting its Single Malt for 125 years. By sticking to our founder’s principles, we can keep crafting the highest quality Scotch for generations to come.
