Founded in 1898 by John Dewar & Sons, Aberfeldy is one of the Highlands’ most respected distilleries and the spiritual heart of the Dewar’s blending empire. Its long fermentation, high-quality oak maturation and water source from the gold-bearing Pitilie Burn contribute to a distinctive “golden dram” style that appeals to both collectors and everyday drinkers.
