Aberfeldy Distillery was founded in 1896 in Perth County, Highland , by the sons of John Dewar, a well-known blended whiskey producer. A distinctive feature of this whiskey is that it is obtained with the pure water of the Pitilie Burn stream that flows not far from the distillery and flows into the River Tay: this stream has always been known for the content of its alluvial gold bed, this is why Aberfeldy whiskeys are often referred to as Golden Dram. The production process is slow and laborious, which sets Aberfeldy apart from other Scottish distilleries. The long fermentation in larch washbacks gives it typical honey notes while the double aging seals its incredible softness. Today Aberfeldy whiskeys are known worldwide as single malt whiskeys but still contribute their honey notes to the flavor of Dewar's blended whiskey.

Whiskey Aberfeldy has been able to reach the highest levels and was awarded at the World Spirit Competition in San Francisco with the Double Gold Medal at the Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Guranteed 12 Years in Oak Aberfeldy (aged for 12 years in oak barrels). The same recognition was given to the precious Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Guaranteed 21 Years in Oak Aberfeldy, the rich and full-bodied Single Malt, aged in ex-Bourbon barrels and distilled in a discontinuous alembic still. These are precious and complex whiskeys, in which the intense golden yellow color anticipates the rich range of aromatic fragrances, which amazes with hints of fruit jam and honey that alternate with notes of tobacco, vanilla and nutmeg and announces a complex taste and enveloping, worthy of precious spirits such as gold.
