Aberfeldy Distillery was founded in 1887 by John Dewar & Sons in the picturesque village of Aberfeldy in Perthshire, Scotland. Located at the confluence of the Tay and Urlar Burns, the distillery harnesses pristine Highland water to craft some of Scotland's most distinctive whiskies. The name "Aberfeldy" derives from the Gaelic "Aber" (mouth of river) and the local place name, reflecting its deep connection to the landscape.
The brand is famous for its signature Golden Dram expression, known for its rich honey notes, subtle spice, and smooth finish. Aberfeldy whiskies are characterised by a warm, approachable flavour profile with distinctive floral and honeyed undertones, making them accessible to both connoisseurs and newcomers to single malt whisky. The distillery employs traditional production methods combined with careful maturation in ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
Today, Aberfeldy is part of the Diageo portfolio and stands as a respected Highland distillery producing premium single malt whiskies. The brand represents quality craftsmanship, heritage authenticity, and the distinctive character of Highland whisky production. Its range includes core expressions, limited editions, and special releases that appeal to whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
Our story
Aberfeldy Distillery was established in 1887 by John Dewar & Sons during the Victorian era, a period of expansion in Scottish whisky production. The location in Perthshire's Tay Valley was chosen for its access to pure water from the Urlar Burns and its proximity to the original Dewar blending operations. This strategic positioning helped establish Aberfeldy as a source of quality Highland malt whisky.
The distillery gained particular prominence through its association with blended whisky production and gradually earned recognition as a single malt in its own right. The distinctive honeyed, floral character of Aberfeldy whisky became celebrated among whisky drinkers, setting it apart from other Highland malts. The brand's philosophy centres on producing approachable, characterful whisky that honours traditional Scottish distilling methods.
Today, Aberfeldy continues its legacy as a premium Highland distillery under Diageo stewardship, maintaining the craftsmanship standards established over 135 years ago. The brand remains committed to producing whiskies that reflect the pure, natural character of the Perthshire Highlands, offering drinkers a genuine expression of Scottish whisky heritage and exceptional quality.
