Aberfeldy distillery was founded by the John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896. The demand for barley as a basic foodstuff during World War I led to the distillery being closed from 1917 to 1919. The Second World War also caused barley supplies to be cut, and the distillery was again forced to shut down for a small period of time.
For most of it’s period in production, all liquid produced in the distillery was used in Dewar’s blended whisky and it was only in the year 1999, Aberfeldy became a single malt whisky brand with the launch of Aberfeldy 12 Year Old. With the new packaging design unveiled in 2014, the distillery currently has 3 core range expressions apart from its limited edition releases.
