Aberfeldy

An auctioneer's guide to Aberfeldy distillery, John Dewar & Sons Highland operation.

Aberfeldy distillery was built in 1896 by John Dewar & Sons, just yards from the Pitilie Burn which is the distillery's water source to this day. The distillery was forced to close for two years to conserve stocks of barley for food rations at the end of World War I. Most of Aberfeldy's output went in to the Dewar's blend. In 1999 it became a single malt whisky brand in its own right with the launch of Aberfeldy 12 Year Old.
