Aberfeldy Distillery was founded by
John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896, opening their doors in
1898. Sitting on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy, on the
southern bank of the upper Tay. Aberfeldy gets its water from the
Pitilie Burn, rich in alluvial gold which runs alongside the distillery.
Aberfeldy hails from the
Central Highlands – which is further from the coast and more humid in climate making this single malt less fruit-forward than a
Speyside but maltier, with a honeyed character. It forms the
foundation of the Dewer's blends.
