Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery
Established: 1896
Location: Aberfeldy
Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery, founded in 1896 by the Dewar family, is nestled in the picturesque Highland Perthshire, offering a scenic backdrop to its whisky-making heritage. Its unique character stems from the pure, mineral-rich water sourced from the Pitilie Burn, known for containing alluvial gold. This water, combined with long fermentation and traditional copper pot stills, gives Aberfeldy whisky its renowned smooth, honeyed sweetness. The distillery’s single malt is characterised by rich notes of heather honey, dried fruits, and subtle spice, with a long, warming finish. Aberfeldy’s combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and distinctive flavour profile makes it a standout among Scotland’s whisky distilleries.
